Election Day Tuesday was cloudy and cool with occasional light rain with lighter winds. I reached the upper 40s for today’s high with dew points again in the mid 40s into the upper 30s in the late evening. We peaked with our maximum temperature (49.0) of the day mid morning before the rain while the low temperature reached just below 40 in the very late evening around midnight.

The peak wind gust for the day (15 MPH) was much lighter than yesterday, peaking in the morning, veering around slightly to a NW direction. Barometric pressures were
highest in the morning while the lowest was reached in the early morning overnight hours.

Wednesday through Friday should be partly to mostly sunny and dry with highs around 50 and lows around freezing. Indeed with November now here there is really a
definite autumn chill to the air.
