Wednesday was a bit cooler than Monday and Tuesday. The max temp only reached the mid 80s. Minimum temps were about the same as Monday and Tuesday and were
once again reached during the early morning hours helped by the persistent high dew points in the 70s. We had a mostly cloudy, warm, very humid day with a few afternoon sprinkles that only amounted to a trace.
.
The winds peaked at the same value today as they remained NW. Barometric pressures were once again rather muted, lowest in the early evening and highest
around midday, partially breaking the earlier in the week pattern.

Thursday looks cloudy and warm with highs in the mid 80s with good chances of showers/storms with lows around 70. MWS has posted a flash flood watch for the
second half of the day into Friday morning.

Friday will be cloudy and much cooler with highs in the upper 60s, lows around 60 with good chances for showers.

Partly cloudy and dry on Saturday with highs in the low 80s, lows in the low-mid 60s. Possibilities of showers and storms return on Sunday with rougly
similiar temps to Saturday.
