An AIR QUALITY ALERT is in effect through midnight tonight. People in sensitive groups with respiratory issues should reduce strenuous outdoor activities.
It's a mild, mostly sunny and pleasant start to the workweek. Temperatures are in the upper 60s to low 70s.

A dry stretch is heading our way this week with warm temperatures and slightly humid conditions. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s with overnight lows in the 60s to near 70 degrees.
We're seeing low chances of wet weather over the next 7-10 days. Stay tuned for updates!
TRACKING THE TROPICS: We're currently monitoring three areas of interest in the Atlantic basin. Tropical Storm Dexter formed last night off the coast of North Carolina. It's expected to move East-Northeast away from the Northeast coastline over the next few days posing no direct threat to land. The other tropical disturbances have a low to medium chance of further development along the Southeastern coast and central Tropical Atlantic over the next 7 days. We've already seen three named storms so far this season, with more tropical activity likely now through early October. Stay tuned for updates!
