Detailed Forecast Discussion
Tuesday: Frontal boundary that moved through early Monday will stall out south of the area. With the trough north and a wave moving through south and east of the area, it will be a quiet day weather-wise, albeit the trough will continue the relatively cooler temperatures. High pressure will build into the area from the west and winds will continue from the north. The atmosphere will be quite dry and clouds will begin to decrease. PM2.5 will remain in the good range.
