You probably noticed that the weather got more and more pleasant as the day went on yesterday. Temps cooled a tad, a breeze kicked in, and humidities lowered. It was a positive sign of things to come for the start of our week. Indeed, after the oppressive heat and humidity of last week, we've started off with a gorgeous morning that should give way to an equally fantastic afternoon. Highs today will cross 80 (the streak of days with highs over 80 continues) but they won't go much higher and with low humidities it'll be a welcome relief. Lows overnight will drop to the mid 60s so go ahead, grill out on a Monday night! Live a little! You deserve it! Just don't blame us for your Tuesday morning hangover.
