Shell Programming and Scripting

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.

Code:

$ cat data
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%
$ cat data | sed 's/([^)]*)//g'
Wind: from the WNW  at 6 MPH
Pressure : 29.82 in. Hg
Temperature: 80.1 F
Dew Point: 72.0 F
Relative Humidity: 76%

Wow! Thanks for the quick solution. I bounced all around what you came up with and all I got was errors. Thanks again!
