Tuesday Brings A Noticeably Warmer Turn
Tuesday will feel more like a mild late-summer day, with sunshine and a high near 71. South winds of 5 to 15 mph could gust as high as 23 mph, especially during the late morning and afternoon, so lightweight outdoor items may need a little extra securing.
Wednesday Could Reach The Mid-70s
