Unusually Cool Morning

Wednesday morning had a bit of coolness to it, even a borderline chill by some standards. Morning lows ran about five to ten degrees below average for July 15. Skies were clear overnight, and relatively dry air was still in place after the cold front early Tuesday. Temperatures this morning were able to drop in the drier air into the 50's and low 60's in Central Virginia, even setting a new record low at Danville. Folks in Danville this morning woke up to a low temperature of 57 degrees, which ties the previous record low from 1978 for July 15.

Here are some other morning low temperatures in the state:
Richmond 61 (average morning low for July 15 is 68)
Petersburg 55
Wakefield 56
Roanoke 59
Lynchburg 54 (average morning low for July 15 is 64)
Fredericksburg 60 (average morning low for July 15 is 65)
Emporia 53 (average morning low for July 15 is 66)
Williamsburg 62 (average morning low for July 15 is 67)

...This is July, right?
