My arthritis wrist discomfort problem was not much of an issue today but the back pain persisted at times in certain positions. I continued to treat it again with rest and a few doses of acetaminophen. I encountered discomfort at times during the day, especially when first getting up, which caused me problems on occasion.

Friday was partly cloudy and warmer. I reached the very upper 70s for today’s high with dew points rising from the upper 50s early rising to 70 by early afternoon. We peaked with our max temperature (79.7) of the day in the mid afternoon with the low temperature down to the low 60s about 3 hours before sunrise.

The peak wind gust for the day (15 MPH) was a bit lower than yesterday, “peaking” in the evening, veering around to a S direction. Barometric pressures were highest in the mid morning while the lowest was reached in the late evening just before midnight.

Partly Cloudy, showers/possible storms likely on Saturday fairly early with highs in the mid-upper 70s but falling quickly after the FROPA with lows down to the upper 40s by the end of the day that should usher in a definitely welcome, more fall-like cooling trend on Sunday and Monday with highs in the mid 60s and lows in the mid-upper 40s under partly to mostly sunny skies. Tuesday and Wednesday should warm up a tad, with highs of 70-73 and lows of 48-50, under mostly sunny skies.
