Fog in the small hours, the air near 67°F and wet, then a west wind came up before dawn and cleared it. The morning was fresh and breezy under broken cloud. The afternoon never got past near 69°, a stiff breeze keeping the air moving and the sun in and out all day. Cool for the season. Evening closed over grey and the temperature slid toward 56° with the wind still up.
