My arthritis wrist discomfort problem was not much of an issue today but the back pain persisted at times in certain positions. I continued to treat it again with rest and a few doses of acetaminophen. I encountered discomfort at times during the day, which caused me problems on occasion.

Wednesday was cloudy in the AM with fog, dense at times with some occasional light drizzle, a bit milder with partly cloudy skies in the PM. I reached the lower 70s for today’s high with dew points holding in the low-mid 60s all day. We peaked with our max temperature (72.0) of the day in the later mid afternoon with the low temperature only down to the low mid 60s about 1 3/4 hours before sunrise.

The peak wind gust for the day (11 MPH) was lower than yesterday, “peaking” in the late morning, veering slightly to a W direction. Barometric pressures were highest in the later morning while the lowest was reached in the later mid-afternoon.

Dense fog possible early Thursday morning, similar to Wednesday morning. There will be a warmup through Saturday with partly cloudy skies on Thursday and Friday and highs in the upper 70s to lower mid 80s with lows generally in the 60s. Clouds, showers/possible storms likely on Saturday with highs in the mid 70s but lows coming down to the mid-upper 40s late that should usher in a definitely welcome, more fall-like cooling trend on Sunday and Monday with highs in the low-mid 60s and lows in the mid 40s under partly to mostly sunny skies.
