fog all morning90°F

Haze from the first hour, the air near 85°F and thick, the city lost in it through the morning. It thinned a little by noon. The afternoon felt like 96° at its worst under a sky that was more haze than cloud, a light breeze doing nothing, and the evening barely cooled, the air near 89° at eight and still in the mid-80s at midnight.
