Monday was mostly cloudy and warmer and more humid as rain fell in the area but very little here (.01″). I reached the low 80s once again for today’s high with dew points holding in the mid-upper 60s to 70 midday. We peaked with our max temperature (81.2) of the day in the mid afternoon only down to the upper mid 60s just after sunrise.

The peak wind gust for the day (15 MPH) was light once again, peaking in the early afternoon, veering to a W direction. Barometric pressures were highest at the very end of the day while the lowest was reached in the early morning a few hours before sunrise.

Tuesday and Wednesday should be mostly cloudy with good chances for showers and storms on Tuesday and rain showers on Wednesday with highs in the mid 70s on Tuesday low 70s on Wednesday and lows mainly in the low-mid 60s. Mostly cloudy conditions should persist Thursday and Friday but with lower chances for rain and a high around 75 and lows around 60. Rain looks to be returning on Saturday during this rather unsettled week.
