It's now 05:00 and 30 degrees. Not a cloud in the sky. Supposed to hit 70.
Strange weather on the mesa

Yep. Just rounding.
I would call that 'truncating'.

We got through Sunday night with all the rain and wind nearly 60 mph. Two places around us measured 57 and 58 and a tree limb I wanted to cut out is now on the ground and no one hurt. It did graze the roof with only a bent shingle tab over the flashing. Lots of clean up. Had to upright a couple of garbage cans. We, along with 14000 residents were without electricity from about 12:30 am until about 6 am. And, now the evening news forecasts another round a bit more intense about the same time on Wednesday into Thursday. But, afterward, the temps will only get into the upper 70's and the humidity will be lower. That I like.
