Cloud sat low over the city in the small hours, the air near 48° and heavy with damp. It broke up soon after dawn. The morning was clear and warmed quickly, the air near 69° by early afternoon before cloud gathered again and shut the sun off for a couple of hours. A north breeze kept things fresh. The sky cleared by dusk and the evening cooled hard, near 46° by midnight.
