ninety before the shift — a Monday holding heat until the storms roll through mid-afternoon.

Ninety by mid-afternoon, mostly sunny until three — then the pattern breaks. This morning holds the heat with a west wind gusting to twenty-one, enough to feel it in the courtyard. The sky stays open until the showers and thunderstorms roll in after 3pm, thirty percent chance climbing to fifty tonight. A tenth to a quarter inch possible through the evening. By Tuesday morning the front clears and we're back to sunny, eighty-six, ten degrees cooler.

The museums are dark today — Mondays close the Taubman, the History Museum, the Transportation Museum. Mill Mountain Theatre's between productions this week, no shows until Thursday. Big Lick Brewing is open from 4pm with Monday trivia at seven, but you'll want to be inside by then anyway. A Few Old Goats is pouring downstairs on the main floor from noon on — the patio's good until three, then you move in. Jefferson Center has a ticketed chamber concert tonight at 7:30pm if you're looking for the serious option.

The greenway window is this morning. Five-minute walk to the trail and you've got flat, shaded pavement along the river — out to Wasena Park and back before the heat peaks. Mill Mountain's twenty-five minutes on foot to the trailhead, but that's a full climb in ninety-degree air before the storms; save it for Tuesday's clearer skies. If you're driving, Carvins Cove opens at sunrise — reservoir trails and forest cover keep it ten degrees cooler than downtown, but you'll still want to be off the trail by two.

Tomorrow flips: sunny, eighty-six, lower humidity, northwest breeze. The Taubman reopens at ten, the greenway's back in play all day, and the evening patio at the brewery won't need the storm contingency. Tonight's the weather tax — plan indoor after three, let it pass, wake up to the better stretch.

At the flats, the courtyard's open this morning, the patio at A Few Old Goats catches the west breeze until mid-afternoon. RND Coffee is a five-minute drive west if you need the morning reset — they're not in the building, but they're the local pick. After three, you're inside. The brewery's main floor stays cool, the taps rotate weekly, and Monday trivia at Big Lick is a seven-minute walk if the storms clear by six. Otherwise, it's a couch night.
