Pattern Arid August

After literally weeks of dewpoints in the mid to upper 70s, I just can’t believe how comfortable the last several days have been… especially in the evening. I took my basset hound for a good 2 mile walk this evening and barely broke a sweat. I’m not naive enough to think that heat and humidity won’t be back again this year, but I’m definitely gonna enjoy these nice evenings while they last
 
I like the wording from RAH's discussion last night:

<last paragraph of long range>
"A cooling and drying trend will continue from Tuesday through
Thursday behind a secondary cold front that looks to move through on
Monday night. Surface high pressure will build down from the Great
Lakes and Northeast US as the cold front stalls well to our south.
The mid/upper trough axis will gradually lift NE, favoring height
rises W/NW flow aloft. This will bring below-normal PW values and
help dew points mix out well down into the 60s from Tuesday through
Thursday. In fact, some guidance even shows some 50s dew points on
these days
. So largely dry weather and mostly sunny skies are
expected. Highs will drop to upper-70s to lower-80s by Wednesday and
Thursday, with lows in the upper-50s to lower-60s as there should be
decent radiational cooling conditions
."
