cold mornings) with temperatures getting back closer to normal values
by Tuesday.  It`ll be even warmer (above normal) Wed/Thu with dry
afternoon RHs and only moderate (at best) RH recovery over upper

while there is a low chance (~10-15%) of showers Fri as another

bring cooler temps (at least briefly) Fri/Sat with some bounce back
by Sunday.
