Tuesday was mostly cloudy, a tad cooler but remarkably dry despite threatening skies. I reached the mid 70s for the high with dew points mostly in the 60s all day. We peaked with our max temperature (75.8) of the day in the later mid-afternoon down to around 60 right before sunrise.

The peak wind gust for the day (27 MPH) picked up a bit today, peaking in the early afternoon, veering over to a W direction. Barometric pressures were highest very late in the day while the lowest was reached in the early evening hours.

Wednesday through Friday, to usher out September and bring in October, should be mostly sunny and dry with highs around 70, with lows in the mid-upper 40s. The Saturday-Sunday weekend period should be partly cloudy and a bit milder, with highs in the mid 70s and lows in the mid-upper 50s. Remaining dry during this entire time period.
