clear and warm80°F

Clear at midnight with the air near 55°F. Cloud crept in after 3am and by first light the sky was covered. It did not last. By 8am the sun had burned through and the sky stayed clean for the rest of the day. By early afternoon it was near 81°, the air very dry, the kind that pulls at the lips. A breeze from the northwest carried some dust with it. Evening cooled fast under stars.
