.DISCUSSION...
A drier airmass will continue to move into the area through tonight
with only a few showers possible into early this evening. Tuesday
will be the driest day of the period, with mostly sunny skies and
temperatures warming into the 70s over most of the area, except
right along the immediate coast where winds might not be enough to
hold off the seabreeze. Strong mixing in the warm and dry airmass
will promote min RH potentially reaching the 25 to 35 percent
range across the interior on Tuesday. Rainy weather returns with a
couple waves crossing through the area through the middle and end
of the week.
