Mild and covered before dawn, the air near 57°. Then the day moved fast. A hot north wind came up through the morning and the temperature climbed with it, near 74° by 3pm, gusts tearing the cloud open. Then the wind swung. Within an hour the air had lost five degrees and by dark it had lost ten more. The sky cleared behind the change. The evening was cool and blustery under stars.
