Outside Dry bulb Temperature is 32F on Summer Design Day

I am working on a standard office building energy analysis located in Seattle. I am trying to calculate the peak load reduction between Baseline and proposed design. However, looking at the facility component report I see that both buildings are peaking on 8/21 @ 3.40 and 5.00 PM respectively but the outdoor dry bulb temperature is 32F. Seattle weather file shows that the Outdoor DB is 84 F on Peak Summer Day Why is the facility load report show 32F? Does this impact the peak load reduction? Attached are the facility load reports.

Thanks for the help.
