Thanks to JayDee (above) and Ryan (below) for photos from the pink sunset that ended our unseasonably warm Friday.
How unseasonable was it? According to the National Weather Service’s Daily Climate Summary, the 77-degree high was 17 degrees above the normal 60-degree high for this date. The morning low, though – 46 – had actually been one degree below normal. And for one more datapoint, that 77-degree high wasn’t anywhere close to a record – the NWS reminds us it was 88 degrees on October 16, 2022.
