    Why it is doing this

    What the day does comes down to three things: where the air came from, which way the pressure is going, and how much of the sun gets through.

    The sky is nearly clear, so the sun does its full work by day and the ground radiates that heat straight back out after dark.

    The dew point is only 50. Dry air swings hard both ways: warm by afternoon, and a good deal colder by dawn than the forecast number suggests.

    The barometer is down 1.2 millibars in six hours. Falling pressure means air is being lifted somewhere close by, and lifted air is what builds cloud and, eventually, rain.
