Partly Sunny Skies and Lower Humidity Bring a More Comfortable Monday

Monday starts quiet with partly sunny skies and a temperature near 69 degrees early, with a light north-northwest wind around 3 mph. It feels like 73, so the air may come off a little warmer than the thermometer suggests as people head out the door.

By afternoon, clouds and sunshine will trade places, but the bigger story is the more comfortable air. The high reaches about 82 with lower humidity than recent days, and there is just a 4% chance of rain. A north-northwest wind around 9 mph could gust up to 18 mph at times, enough to keep the air moving without causing much trouble.

Monday evening stays calm and pleasant as the breeze eases and skies gradually clear. Conditions remain dry, making it a good setup for outdoor plans, a walk after dinner or just some time outside before dark.

Overnight, the sky turns mostly clear and the temperature slips to a low near 62. Winds become light, and rain is not expected.

The allergy index is elevated for grass and ragweed, both rated high today. Mold and tree pollen are low.

Tuesday looks warmer and more humid, with a high near 85 and a low around 69. Expect a mostly sunny day with little risk of rain.
