What to pack

What May feels like

Everything opens up — patios, the river walk, the first weekend markets — and the trails on Peavine and out at Galena finally dry out. Evenings still cool off enough that every outdoor table keeps its heaters plugged in.

Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.
