Hot and dry conditions look to linger across the region through
Tuesday this week and parts of the Piedmont for Wednesday, until 
a cold front brings in daily chances for showers and thunderstorms. 
Prior to this moisture entering the area, hot and dry conditions 
areawide will lead to minimum RH values mainly falling into the 
30s/40s today, and 20s/30s on Tuesday, with an increase mainly 
for the mountains by Wednesday as the aforementioned cold front 
arrives and advects moisture north. Overall, with winds remaining
