I can't figure this out? Quick help with sed

I am trying to delete everything in the parenthesis(including the parenthesis) in this text:

Wind: from the WNW (290 degrees) at 6 MPH (5 KT)
Pressure (altimeter): 29.82 in. Hg (1009 hPa)
Temperature: 80.1 F (26.7 C)
Dew Point: 72.0 F (22.2 C)
Relative Humidity: 76%

Trying to make it look like this:

Wind: from the WNW at 6 MPH
Pressure: 29.82 in. Hg
Temperature: 80.1 F
Dew Point: 72.0 F
Relative Humidity: 76%

This command got rid of just the parenthesis, but I need everything gone in the parenthesis also:

sed 's/(//g;s/)//g'

The command has to remove the space just before the first parenthesis also. The data in the parenthesis will obviously be variable.

Anyone care to take a stab at this?

This is to print the weather data on a live camera shot. I just don't need the data in parenthesis:

Any help would be appreciated.

fixnt

fixnt(1)							      Debian								  fixnt(1)

NAME

       fixnt - Filter for the Windows NT postscript printer driver.

SYNOPSIS

       fixnt < BADFILE.ps > GOODFILE.ps

DESCRIPTION

       The  Windows  NT  postscript  driver has a tendency to make broken postscript files, that are incompatible with psutils.  fixnt is a filter
       that fixes these problems, allowing the use of psnup(1).

       The filter takes the broken postscript file on stdin, and outputs a fixed postscript file on stdout.  It has no other form  for	invocation
       and takes no options on the command-line.

OPTIONS

       fixnt  takes no options.

BUGS

       fixnt does not check for NTPSOct94.  For a workaround, use a sed(1) command to replace 'NTPSOct94' with 'NTPSOct95', like so:
	      sed 's/NTPSOct94/NTPSOct95/g'
       This is particularly important for Windows NT 3.5 users.

       fixnt   was   written   by   Holger   Bauer   <Holger.Bauer@topmail.de>,  Michael  Rath	<rath@itsm.uni-stuttgart.de>,  and  Akim  Demaille

REPORTING BUGS

       Report bugs to the Authors, but avoid sending large postscript files.

       Patches are always welcome; send to <bauer@itsm.uni-stuttgart.de>.
