THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT

Drier conditions are moving in! A passing shower is possible through early evening. Otherwise, partly cloudy, warm and still a bit humid through most of the evening. Please use caution traveling and watch out for lingering standing water or debris on roads from today's earlier stormy weather.

Overnight, the humidity will drop a bit. It will stay partly cloudy and dry overnight into early Tuesday with lows in the 60s.

DANGEROUS OCEAN CONDITIONS

As the weather improves this evening and you might want to head to the shoreline. Please be careful if heading to a South Shore beach. A high surf advisory with additional minor beach erosion remains in effect until 9 p.m. There is still a risk for dangerous rip currents through at least Tuesday evening now, too.
