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.

Monday was paetly cloudy and pleasant and a bit less humid. I reached the upper 70s once again for highs with dew points remaining around the 60 mark all day. We peaked with our max temperature (77.0) of the day in the early afternoon. The low temperature for the day (lower 60s) was reached in the early morning about 45 minutes before sunrise.

The peak wind gust for the day (13 MPH) was light once again, “peaking” early afternoon, veering over to a S direction today. Barometric pressures were highest in the late evening while the lowest was reached in the very beginning of the day.

Cloudy Tuesday and a tad warmer with highs around 80 and lows in the mid 60s. 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 and Saturday should be nice with partly to mostly sunny skies and highs of 70-75, lows in the mid 50s as fall arrives at the autumnal equinox on Wednesday, September 22.
