Happy Mother's Day!!!

The low yesterday was 57ºF and the high was 76ºF. At 5:30 AM the temperature was 64º F, it was cloudy, and the winds were 19-24 mph using the Beaufort Scale as smaller trees were swaying. Around midnight I was awakened by thunder as a thunderstorm passed over. Most of the 0.17" of rain in the rain gauge this morning presumably fell during that storm. Nancy had heard a few sprinkles on the bathroom skylight around 9:30 PM, but the sidewalk was mostly dry at 10PM. The attached movie shows the clouds rapidly moving out at around 6AM.

The low for today was 50º F and the high was 65º F. It was very windy when we left before 7AM and the winds were still strong, around 19-24 mph with stronger gusts when we got home about 8 PM.
