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 only 46. Dry air swings hard both ways: warm by afternoon, and a good deal colder by dawn than the forecast number suggests.

Cloud cover is running about 23 percent — enough to take the edge off the sun without shutting it out.

The wind is out of the north at about 4 miles an hour, so the air over us is coming down out of the interior, which is drier and cooler air.
