A needed dry-out period commences

We wouldn't have said this last year during the drought, but we could use a few days of dry weather. And that's what we're going to get this week as a strong low to the east circulates dry north winds into the region for the next few days. That will slowly give way to a hot, dry southwest flow which will only slowly rebuild moisture levels by mid to late week. So those of you who have been wanting dry weather after so many periods of rain ... you're very likely to get your wish.

  1. Daytime humidity looks like it'll stay down until Thursday. Relatively speaking, of course (no pun intended ... but maybe.)
