.DISCUSSION...
There will be decent RH recovery tonight and Tuesday as
increasing moisture ahead of a cold front will lead to slightly
higher minimum relative humidity values. Then Tuesday night and
Wednesday showers and steady rain will move through the region
bringing a wetting rainfall for most areas. Cooler temperatures
and dry weather will move in to finish up the workweek behind the
departing cold front.
