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.
A dew point of 72 is tropical. That number, not the thermometer, decides how the heat feels — and it is why the nights barely cool off, because the moisture holds the day’s warmth in.
The barometer is up 0.9 millibars in six hours. Rising pressure means air is sinking, and sinking air warms and dries on the way down, which is what clears a sky out.
