You’ll likely need a light jacket early in the morning, but afternoons remain comfortable with plenty of sunshine.
Monday starts with a few leftover clouds, but expect increasing sunshine through the afternoon as drier air moves into the region. A northwest breeze will make it feel noticeably fresher compared to the weekend.
