Looking ahead to Tuesday, the city will continue to breathe under mostly sunny skies, in what promises to be nearly a match of Monday's high with a peak at 73 degrees.

Residents may want to seize the day before this slight turn in weather patterns.
The middle of the week brings a continued chance for showers on Wednesday morning, but the skies should clear as the day matures, with temperatures dropping to a cooler maximum of 64 degrees. By Wednesday night, the skies are forecasted to clear entirely, setting the stage for a chilly low of 41 degrees.
