Cooler and much drier air continues to flow across the state Tuesday. We’ll see a mix of clouds and sun with a few spotty showers. The next few days should be mostly sunny and nice.
Cooler Tuesday with a pleasant stretch of weather mid to late week
It’s already much more comfortable as dew points continue to drop today. We’ll see a cooler day with highs mainly in the 70s:

An upper-level disturbance is swinging through the region Tuesday around a cool, upper-level low centered toward Hudson Bay. It will bring afternoon clouds and possibly a few showers.
