My carpal tunnel syndrome continues to respond pretty well to my treatments and my hand is slowly improving thankfully. The wrist brace and pain reliever acetaminophen medication I got on Monday is helping me some so far.

Tuesday was a bit warmer (see my note about an error on the Monday max I made in the statistics below), just as humid but dry. I reached the mid 80s for highs with dew points rising through the upper 60s early into the low 70s by the end of the day. We peaked with a warm max temperature (86.3) of the day in the mid-afternoon. The low temperature for the day (upper 60s) was reached in the early morning hours right before sunrise.

The peak wind gust for the day (13 MPH) was much lighter than yesterday, peaking in the late mid-afternoon, veering around to a S direction. Barometric pressures were highest in the mid-morning while the lowest was reached in the early evening hours, very similar to yesterday.

Wednesday looks partly cloudy and quite warm, with highs around 90 and lows in the upper 60s, then Thursday through Saturday look to cool down some into the low 80s for highs and mid 60s for lows with partly cloudy skies and chances of showers and thundershowers each day.

The attached image for today shows some nice cirrus clouds looking up at the sky from the vicinity of the rain gauge on Saturday afternoon (9/4/2021).
