.DISCUSSION...
The chance for showers returns today, but any activity should remain
on the lighter side, although a wetting rain could occur in a few
locations. Gusty southwest winds of 20 to 30 mph are expected at
times today, but minimum relative humidity values should remain
higher than of late, generally between 40 to 50 percent.
Unseasonably hot weather will continue across the region through
much of this week beginning on Tuesday, with high temperatures
reaching the mid to upper 80s, which is nearly 20 degrees warmer
than normal for this time of year. Record high temperatures are
possible on Wednesday. While isolated showers or storms cannot be
completely ruled out on any given day this week, major relief from
the dryness is not expected on anything more than an extremely
localized basis.
