Sunday was partly to mostly sunny and pleasantly cool and dry once again. I only reached just over 70 for the high with dew points in the upper 40s-mid 50s most all day. We peaked with our max temperature (71.8) of the day in the mid afternoon down to the mid 50s at just about sunrise.

The peak wind gust for the day (30 MPH) picked up quite a bit today, peaking around midday, veering over to a NW direction. Barometric pressures were highest in the later morning while the lowest was reached just after midnight at the very beginning of the day.

Monday and Tuesday should still be nice with partly sunny skies and highs in the low 80s, with lows around 60 on Monday and low 50s late Tuesday. Tuesday looks a bit cloudier with increasing shower/storm chances. Wednesday through Friday, to usher out September and bring in October, should be sunny to at most partly cloudy and dry
with highs in the upper 60s to around 70, with lows in the upper 40s to around 50.
