Tuesday was mostly cloudy and still quite mild and humid as rain did fall in the area a bit more than yesterday but still lightly (.14″). I reached the upper 70s for today’s high with dew points holding mostly in the mid-upper 60s to 70 late in the afternoon. We peaked with our max temperature (77.8) of the day in the mid afternoon only down to the mid 60s just after sunrise.

The peak wind gust for the day (13 MPH) was light once again, peaking in the late afternoon, veering around to an E direction. Barometric pressures were highest at the very end of the day while the lowest was reached in the very early morning 24 hours earlier right at midnight.

Wednesday should be mostly cloudy with good chances for showers and storms. Highs through Friday should be in the mid 70s with lows in the low 60s. Partly to mostly cloudy conditions should persist Thursday and Friday but with lower chances for rain. Rain looks to be returning over the weekend on both Saturday and Sunday with highs around 70 and lows around 60 during this rather unsettled week.
