Why it is doing this
What an overnight low actually reaches has less to do with the day just gone than with two things after dark: how dry the air is, and whether there is any cloud to hold the heat in.
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.
Cloud cover is close to total, which caps the afternoon high and holds the overnight low up.
