.DISCUSSION...
Coverage of showers and thunderstorms will increase through
Tuesday. Elevated rain chances will continue through much of the
work week as an active weather pattern takes hold of the area.
Rain totals will be highly dependent on where the heavier
thunderstorms move as a few storms will be capable of producing
locally heavy rainfall, especially in areas near the coast.
Afternoon minimum humidities will be well above critical levels
all week.
