Saturday was a pleasantly cool end to the month of July. We only warmed up to the upper 70s by late afternoon under partly sunny skies most of the day that yielded
to mostly cloudy skies by early evening. The daily minimum temperature in the mid 60s was reached in the morning a few hours after sunrise.

The peak winds (only 15 MPH) were pretty light all day, strongest in the early afternoon, veering slightly to a westerly direction. Barometric pressures were highest
in the mid morning while the lowest were in the mid evening hours as our next rainy system starts to move in from the west.

Sunday should be mostly cloudy with rain starting early during the overnight, with highs around 80 and lows in the low 60s. Monday should be sunny, Tuesday cloudy,
and Wednesday and Thursday partly cloudy with little chances for rain, with highs in the low 80s and lows in the low-mid 60s.
