Variable cloudiness across the area on the 21st of August not only made it tough to see the solar eclipse, it also caused more variability in the temperature trends. 

The 1st temperature is the warmest reached through the midpoint of the eclipse and the 2nd is the lowest temperature reached during or up to 15 minutes after the eclipse.
