Our holiday is starting out with cloudy skies and very warm temperatures.  The sun looks like it is trying to push it’s way through the clouds, but not doing a very good job.  We do have a slight chance for rain later, but all the rain is to our south at this time.  We could see highs reaching close to  90 degrees this afternoon, and that should make some people happy.

Our 12 noon temperature is 81°F (22°C), the humidity is 62%.  Winds are from the WSW at 2-6 mph and the pressure is 29.95 in (1014.2 mb) and rising.  The dew point is 65°F (18°C).  Yesterday’s high was 84F (29C), and the overnight low was 65°F (18°C).  Average temps for this date are 82°F/59°F.  Record temps for July 3 are 99°F (1966) and 48°F (1961.  Sunrise was at 6:03 AM, and sunset will be at 9:18 PM.
