Tuesday was a partly cloudy, warmer day. We reached the lower mid 80s for highs with dew points lowering from the mid 60s down into the upper 50s in the early morning. We peaked with a warmer max temperature (83.5) of the day in the mid afternoon. The low temperature for the day (in the low 60s) was reached in the early morning about an hour before sunrise.

The peak wind gust for the day (22 MPH) lightened some but was still moderately strong, peaking in the early mid-afternoon, veering around to a SW direction.
Barometric pressures were highest in the late morning while the lowest was reached in the early evening hours.

Wednesday should be partly sunny with a chance of afternoon/evening showers and storms, with high temps in the mid 80s and lows in the mid 60s. There should be a
cooling trend on Thursday and Friday with highs in the mid-upper 70s and lows in the mid-upper 50s, with clouds and rain showers possible Thursday morning but drying
out the rest of the day with partial clearing then partly cloudy skies on Friday. Sunny to partly cloudy, dry skies over the weekend, with a warming trend into the low-mid 80s and lows in the mid-upper 60s.
