Rain 

On Monday, Nov. 18, Muldoon saw a tiny bit of rain. Around 0.15” fell in the area. Just enough to settle the dust for a little bit. With this little bit of rain, the temperatures have taken a slight decrease with much cooler mornings. Morning temps have been in the 40s and this has been a much-welcomed fall change after all the warm October temperatures.
