Cooler air sticks around into the start of the week. However, each day we get progressively warmer with both the morning and afternoon temperatures.
As the dry air settles, something to keep in mind is the science behind a dry parcel of air. Dry air cools and warms rather rapidly and those impacts were evident this weekend.
Another thing to mention: the dew point! The dew point measures the water vapor in the atmosphere. To put things simply, the drier the air, the lower the dew point — the more comfortable it feels outdoors. This type of pattern will have you reaching for your favorite moisturizer as skin tends to dry out when dew point levels are so low.
