.DISCUSSION...
A widespread wetting rainfall is expected tonight along with
humid conditions. Humidity will remain very high into Monday
morning, then a cold front crosses which will allow for better
mixing, clearing, and drying. Tuesday will be the driest day of
the period, with mostly sunny skies and temperatures warming into
the 70s over most of the area. Though, light winds will allow a
seabreeze to develop. Rainy weather returns with a couple waves
crossing through the area through the middle and end of the week.
