Why it is doing this
Rain needs air to be lifted until it cools past the point where it can hold its moisture. Two things do that lifting here: a front, or the ground simply heating up through the afternoon.
The barometer is up 1.6 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.
A dew point of 73 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.
