Tuesday was partly cloudy with similar temps to Monday with lows around 50 and highs in the mid 60s,  reached at more normal times than yesterday. Moderate W breezes brought in drier air in the afternoon resulting in about a 10 degree max dew point temperature drop for the day compared to yesterday.
