After a pleasant Easter Sunday, today will begin a period of much cooler weather.  We are under a wind advisory until 8 PM and hopefully, we won’t have too much wind damage.  They are predicting gusts in excess of 50 mph.  Yesterday made it up to 70° according to my weather station, but some weather sites are saying that highs were only in the upper 60s.  I was outdoors without a coat, so I’m pretty certain that my station was correct.  Regardless, it was a very nice day.  A little rain moved in overnight and there was 0.03″ in my gauge this morning.

Our 8:45 AM temperature is 48°F (9°C).  It has already dropped 4° since I got up at 7:30.  The humidity is 95%, and winds are variable at 8-15 mph.  The pressure is 29.21 in (989.2 mb) and steady.  Skies are overcast with mist.  The dew point is 47°F (8°C) and visibility is 10 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 70°F (21°C) and the overnight low was 48°F (9°C).  Averages for this date are 55°F / 36°F.  Temperatures most of this week will be below normal.
