My carpal tunnel syndrome/Arthritis continues to respond well to my treatments and my hand is improving thankfully. Voltaren is working well so far. Only further applications with time will tell the final tale.

Friday was cooler but still humid and mostly cloudy with very light rain midday (0.01″) so not totally dry. I reached the upper 70s for highs with dew points hovering around the 70 mark all day. We peaked with our max temperature (78.8) of the day in the later mid-afternoon. The low temperature for the day (low 70s) was reached in the later morning hours well after sunrise.

The peak wind gust for the day (14 MPH) diminished some more, peaking mid-morning, veering over to an moist E direction off of the Atlantic. Barometric pressures were highest mid-morning while the lowest was reached in the early evening.

Saturday through Tuesday should dry out and stay moderately warm but still humid, with highs in the low-mid 80s and lows in the low-mid 60s through Sunday, then upper 70s thereafter with lows in the upper 50s to lower 60s, all under partly to mostly sunny skies.
