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.

Cloud cover is close to total, which caps the afternoon high and holds the overnight low up.

The dew point is only 42. Dry air swings hard both ways: warm by afternoon, and a good deal colder by dawn than the forecast number suggests.

The barometer has hardly moved in six hours — down 0.1 millibars — which is why nothing much is changing.
