SUMMARY:
–Our flow is beginning to change from a south-to-north orientation, to a west-to-east orientation.
–As such, the super humidity siphon is being shut off for now, and we’ll have slightly less warm temps
–High pressure will dominate today, tomorrow, and much of Tuesday into Tuesday evening
–After some patchy early morning fog on Monday morning, we should enjoy a partly to mostly sunny day with highs in the mid/upper 70s
–Lows will drop into the upper 50s with low dewpoint temps. Open your windows Monday night!
–Tuesday looks the same. Dewpoint temps during this time frame will feature dewpoints in the 40s and 50s
–By Tuesday night into Wednesday, humidity will build back in and we’ll see scattered showers and thunderstorms as a storm system races through dragging its cold front
–Late next week looks like a drier period as well, so we are moving in the right direction!

Have a great day!
