PM Update: Pleasant evening, plus other links

As we discussed earlier this morning, today was a much more pleasant and less-humid day when compared with the few before it. Highs in the lower 80’s felt comfortable with lower dew points and resultant humidity values. Tonight will feature much of the same. Fair-weather clouds from throughout the day will fade and mostly clear conditions are expected. Lows will fall into the mid 60’s away from the city, but may remain a bit warmer than that in urban areas.

Tomorrow looks warmer, with highs in the mid to upper 80’s. But there will likely be a developing seabreeze by afternoon due to onshore winds. There’s a lot of other stuff going on in the world of meteorology. So keep reading:’
