...Low Relative Humidity Values on Monday and Tuesday...

.DISCUSSION...Dry weather prevails through Tuesday as high
pressure dominates our weather. There will be a risk of morning
frost through Tuesday, especially in sheltered valleys. Minimum
relative humidity values will retreat into the 20 to 30 percent
range for most locations by Monday and Tuesday. The high will
depart to the east mid-week, with some light precipitation chances
returning with a moisture-starved cold front on Tuesday night and
Wednesday morning.
