Summary: The day was sunny, mostly clear, and cool. There was no rain. There were some clouds in the sky during the morning and then the sky became clear with maybe a few clouds. It felt cool during the morning, evening, and night. It felt a little cool, almost warm during the afternoon. The wind speeds were calm with moderate to moderately strong gusts with maybe some really strong 20 to 25 mph gusts during the morning. There was a air quality alert issued for Monday. There were no other watches, warnings, alerts, advisories, or weather statements issued for the Houston, TX area, that I know of. The lows were in the 50's with highs in the 70's, I think, with maybe a few 60's, for the Houston, TX area.

Thoughts: Even though it felt cool, the water temperature was still warm enough to swim in the pool.
