Wednesday was partly cloudy and hotter with max temps hitting 90 (rounded value) and lows also warmer (upper 60s), with the highs and lows reached at close to
their normal times during the 24 hour calendar day. A sunny morning gave way to a cloudier afternoon, with thunderstorms in the area, with lightning and thunder
observed, though distant. Only a trace of rain fell. The winds picked up from the SW but were not significant despite the nearby convective activity. Barometric
pressure slowly dropped off during the day.

Thursday was partly cloudy and dry with the max temps particularly cooler than Wednesday, reached at normal times during the calendar day. The winds remained
moderate but veered around to a more northwesterly direction. Barometric pressures did not vary much from yesterday.

Friday will be mostly cloudy, warm and humid with showers and storms developing in the afternoon with a chance at some being severe with max temps in the mid 80s
and lows in the mid 60s. Saturday and Sunday will be cloudy and much cooler with showers, highs coming down into the 50s and lows in the 40s. Memorial Day Monday
should dry out with partly cloudy skies and recover into the 70s temperature-wise, with lows in the 50s.

cloudy, dry skies.
