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 70, the sticky end of comfortable. It is also the floor the overnight low works against: the air will not usually fall much below it.
The barometer has hardly moved in six hours — up 0.5 millibars — which is why nothing much is changing.
