Welcome relief from the heat today with high temperatures below normal in the 60s as cool, onshore flow sets up. The warmth returns by mid-week with highs again touching 90ºF by Wednesday. A strong thunderstorm is possible with a cold front passing through that day. Afterwards, temperatures cool but still reach above average highs in the low-80s on Thursday.
Rest of today – partly sunny with gradually increasing sun, high temperatures in the mid-60s with easterly and northeasterly winds shifting towards the southeast. Overnight lows in the mid-50s.
Tuesday – warmer with high temperatures in the low-70s and partly sunny skies. Overnight lows in the mid-60s.
Wednesday – a warm front will pass through and put us in the warm sector of a strong low centered well to our north over Canada. Temperatures are expected to reach around the 90ºF in the city. Later in the day, as a cold front approaches, scattered but possibly strong thunderstorms could roll through. Overnight lows in the upper-60s.

Subtropical Storm Ana
Over the weekend, the first named storm of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season, Subtropical Storm Ana, formed over the open waters of the Atlantic northeast of Bermuda. While the storm itself was never a threat to land, it does mark the seventh year in a row that a named storm formed ahead of the formal start of the hurricane season.
We can’t draw any conclusions from a single storm, but it is worth noting that nearly all major forecast sources including NOAA are calling for a season of above average hurricane activity.
