clear and cool51°F

Clear and brisk before dawn, the air near 42°F with a west wind that had been blowing all night. Not a cloud from one end of the day to the other. The sun took the chill off by late morning and the air reached near 57° in the late afternoon, the wind still steady and stiff. It felt cooler than the number in that wind. The evening came on clear and sharp and the wind had not let up.
