Hi/lo temps on 12 Jul 2005
The NWS COOP observers do not measure humidity, but that value can be inferred from the low temperature. The reason is that, in general, the low temperature is usually around the dew point, which doesn't fluctuate that much during the day. If the temperature wants to drop below the dew point, water vapor needs to be condensed out of the air which releases heat.
