Cool start to the week followed by a warming trend

What We’re Tracking

• Staying cool Monday
• Warming trend this week
• Humidity returns

A mostly cloudy sky will stick around tonight, with a few lingering light showers possible through the overnight hours. Temperatures will dip into the lower 60s, making for another chilly start to your Monday morning. Winds remain light out of the east.

Cooler temperatures will continue into the start of the work week. Monday's highs will reach the lower 80s, about 10 degrees below average for early August. Low dew points and light winds will make for a very comfortable day.

A gradual warming trend sets in through the week. By the latter half, highs return to the lower 90s, which is near normal for this time of year. An upper-level ridge shifting over the Midwest will be a key driver of the warming. Most of the week looks dry, with minimal rain chances. Humidity will increase by midweek as dew points rise, setting the stage for a hot and humid weekend ahead.
