Monday was another relatively pleasantly cool day with cumulus dancing across our skies at time to give us partly cloudy conditions most of the day. We warmed up to the upper 70s by the later stage of the mid-afternoon time period. The daily minimum temperature right at 60 was reached in the early morning hours a bit after sunrise.

The peak winds (19 MPH) were moderate, strongest in the mid morning, veering slightly to a northwesterly direction. Barometric pressures were highest in the very late evening while the lowest were in the early morning overnight hours.

Tuesday and Wednesday should be cloudy and dry, with highs in 80-85 range and lows in the 60-65 range. Thursday and Friday should partly to mostly sunny with warmer temperatures reaching the mid-upper 80s and lows in the low-mid 60s.
