.DISCUSSION...
Dry conditions and well above normal temperatures persist through
Tuesday with good RH recovery expected at night. Good mixing of
dry air aloft is expected to bring RH down to under 40 percent
during the day Monday, but most areas should be back between 40
and 50 percent on Tuesday as southerly winds increase ahead of a
cold front. This front will likely bring a wetting rain for much
of the area Tuesday night into early Wednesday. Cooler
temperatures and dry weather are expected behind the front for
Thursday and Friday.
