Apex is starting the weekend with classic August weather — cloudy skies, scattered showers, and temperatures hovering around 25 degrees Celsius, or 77 degrees Fahrenheit. There’s a gentle breeze, so outdoor plans are still in the cards for many, but keep an eye out, as the forecast calls for on-and-off rain throughout the day and a low tonight near 20 degrees. The local air is feeling pretty fresh: today’s pollen count comes in low at just 2.6 grains per cubic meter, almost exclusively from grasses, so allergy sufferers can breathe easy, at least for now, according to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality.
Last night saw energy across Apex High’s athletic fields, where the Cougars edged Holly Springs in varsity soccer 3-2 after a nail-biter golden goal in overtime. Senior midfielder Marcus Lee scored twice and was named player of the match. In preseason football, Apex Friendship Patriots fell just short against Garner Magnet, losing 21-17 but showing flashes of potential, especially from sophomore running back Eli Chandler.
If you’re looking for something to do this Saturday, Sweetwater’s hosting an open house from noon to 4, with refreshments and tours of the neighborhood’s craftsman-style homes. Earlier in the morning, a local family is running a bake sale fundraiser from 8 to noon to support their adoption efforts — grab a muffin and make a difference down at the Apex Community Center.
Downtown Cary Park’s farmers market is in full swing, showcasing summer produce, flower bouquets, and live bluegrass until 1pm. For arts lovers, Burning Coal Theatre in Raleigh presents Godspell Jr. this afternoon and evening, offering feel-good music and family fun at 224 Polk Street. Later, soccer fans can catch NC Courage facing San Diego at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, with festivities kicking off at 7:30pm, including mascots from local teams and autograph sessions.
Be aware that the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services advises folks, especially children and seniors, to avoid strenuous activity outside during today’s warm midday hours due to the heat index, though air quality is currently in the healthy range.
