Ready for a break in the humidity? If so — as I suspect most of you are — it begins on Tuesday as drier air filters into the area throughout the day. We’ll see dewpoints fall from the low 70s to start the day to the mid-60s by sundown. High temperatures will still top out in the upper 80s, and it’ll still feel a little more like 90-91°, but overall, it’ll start to feel a lot better. There’s a small chance for a few showers to fire near the coast in the late afternoon, but the vast majority of us look to stay rain-free under partly cloudy skies.

It gets better from here, too: Wednesday morning will feel positively refreshing with dewpoints in the low 60s and air temperatures in the mid-60s away from the coast. It’ll also be the first day with zeroed-out rain chances all month. Should be an excellent day for an outdoor lunch or an evening walk. (Why not both?)

Rain chances within onshore flow creep up a bit starting Thursday as a coastal trough forms, but temperatures will remain a little more seasonable — not quite fall, but not quite blazing summer, either, as highs top out in the low 80s after morning lows in the upper 60s.
