After a hot, sunny Thursday, our weather took a turn for the wet late last night.  We had a line of thundershowers move over dropping a little over half an inch in my gauge.  I think the rain is over for the day, but skies are overcast and it seems quite dark out.  We are losing about 3 minutes of daylight every day now, and it is quite noticeable, especially in the evening.  Meteorlogically speaking, autumn is here.

Our 9AM temperature is 63°F (17°C), the humidity is 94%, and winds are from the NW at 5-8 mph.  The pressure is 29.89 in (1012.2 mb) and rising.  The dew point is 60°F (16°C), and visibility is 9 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 84°F (29°C) and the overnight low was 63°F (17°C).  Average temps for this date are 76°F/54°F.  Record temps for Sept. 5 are 96°F (1881) and 34°F (1997).  Sunrise was at 7:08 AM, and sunset will be at 8:04 PM.
