Thursday was a bit cooler and dry. We warmed up to the low 80s in the later mid-afternoon. The day featured partly to mostly sunny skies, lower dew points and
generally more pleasant conditions. The daily minimum temperature in the lower mid 60s was reached in the morning after sunrise. The smoke generally cleared up in
the area.

The winds lessened significantly, veering to a cooling, smoke-clearing NE direction, peaking in the late morning. Barometric pressures were highest in the late evening
while the lowest was in the very early morning hours.
