ANOTHER FAIR WEATHER DAY ON THE SUMMIT….

Dew points remained in the mid 50’s while temperatures
climbed into the low 70’s. Visibility is 80 miles on average
with the highest of 85 miles being observed at 1 P.M. What
is left to be desired?
An easterly wind at around 10 mph provides us with a very
comfortable and cool breeze.

the normal maximum of 75F. The low since midnight is 59F,
which is 2 degrees above the normal minimum of 57F.
