Max temps only reached the upper 70s by late afternoon while the daily minimum temperature in the upper 60s was reached in the early morning right after sunrise.

The winds blew strong this morning for a time from the NW at 0902. Barometric pressures were highest in the late morning while lowest in the overnight very early morning hours.
