Daily Weather Review

This morning it was warmer. I got woken up by thunder from a very close lightening strike about 3:30 AM. We got brief heavy rain and gusty winds and just a few more flashes of lightning. After the line of storms moved out the temperature and dew point began dropping. They were both down into the mid 60s by daybreak. There was clouds and sun with a pretty gusty westerly wind today. The temperature was into the upper 70s with a lower dew point early this afternoon.
