Our string of beautiful days continued as we started the workweek today. Highs near and above 80 are pretty close to normal for early June. The humidity, however, is quite low. That makes the pleasant weather all the more pleasant. While we shouldn’t see too much change this evening, you might want to enjoy the last of the perfect weather as less-ideal conditions are inbound.
