Cool and grey at first light, the air near 52°F under low cloud with dew on everything. The morning brightened a little and the cloud thinned for a while near eleven. The afternoon reached near 62° and no more, the sky closing over again and the air still, a soft day without an edge to it. Toward evening the cloud pulled back. The sky was clear by midnight and the air had cooled toward 51°.
