hundredths of an inch measured. Looking ahead, another extended
period of rain-free weather is expected from Wednesday afternoon
into at least the first half of this weekend. Otherwise, highs in
the mid to upper 60s are in store Tuesday before warming into the
70s through the end of the work week. Mainly light east-northeast
winds between 5-10 mph will be in place Tuesday with gusts around 15
mph at times. RH concerns are not anticipated through the middle of
the week.
