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.

Sunday was cooler and gradually less humid and inreasingly more pleasant as the dasy wore on. I reached the upper 70s for highs with dew points lowering from the upper 60s early to the mid 50s by evening. We peaked with our max temperature (77.6) of the day in the early evening. The low temperature for the day (lower 60s) was reached at midnight at the end of the day.

The peak wind gust for the day (14 MPH) was light once again, “peaking” mid-morning, veering back over to an E direction. Barometric pressures were highest at the very end of the day while the lowest was reached in the very beginning of the day, essentially 24 hours apart.

Increasing cloudy periods Monday into Tuesday and cooler with highs in the upper 70s
and lows in the 60-65 range. Cloudy and gradually cooler on Wednesday and Thursday with good chances of rain, highs in the low-mid 70s and lows in the mid-upper 50s. Friday should be nice with partly to mostly sunny skies and highs around 70, lows around 70 as fall arrives around the autumnal equinox on Wednesday, September 22.
