Mild before dawn, the air near 57° with cloud building over the last of the stars. By first light the sky was closed. The day warmed anyway and reached near 73° by 3pm, the air damp enough to notice on the back of the neck. Wind stayed light with a few gusts around midday. Late in the afternoon the cloud broke and the low sun got through for a couple of hours. The cloud filled back in by evening and the dark settled close and mild.
