Sunshine took center stage over Apex this Monday, with clear skies and springlike warmth greeting everyone for the start of the week. After a dip into the low 50s overnight, temperatures climbed quickly and hovered in the sunny mid-70s by early afternoon, making it a picture-perfect day to get outside or visit one of the many local parks.

If you have been trying to avoid the pollen, you are in luck—today’s pollen count stayed moderate after a brief spike last week. The green dust is still lingering, especially around trees and grassy fields, but allergy sufferers are finding a bit of relief just in time for a busy week of outdoor activities. Air quality is also holding steady in the good range, with no advisories in effect across Wake County.

Local high school sports fans had plenty to cheer about this weekend. The Apex Friendship Patriots JV softball team took on Willow Spring at 4 pm this afternoon at home, drawing a good crowd of parents and students for an exciting game under perfect skies[4]. The varsity teams are ramping up for their playoff runs, and anticipation is in the air for those crucial upcoming matches.

Community life is buzzing. The Public Art Committee is meeting at Town Hall this evening at 6 pm to discuss new installations and upcoming projects that will add a creative touch to downtown Apex[1][4]. Meanwhile, disc golf enthusiasts will want to make alternate plans, as the local course is temporarily closed for maintenance through Thursday[5].

Looking ahead, Tuesday will bring the regular Town Council meeting, where hot topics include downtown revitalization and summer event planning[1].

Whether you are taking an evening stroll, supporting local athletes, or just soaking in the sun with a coffee on Salem Street, Apex is full of good vibes and neighborly spirit as April heads toward its final week.
