Higher humidity will return to the East and will set the stage for numerous, drenching thunderstorms at midweek.
Those with yard or field work, sporting events, hiking/walking plans or any other outdoor activity should take advantage of the dry weather into Tuesday in the I-95 corridor.
Remember that even when high humidity and heat are absent, the sun's rays this time of year are still harmful to unprotected skin and eyes.
An uptick in humidity will allow a shower or thunderstorm to dot the eastern part of the Ohio Valley and the rest of the central Appalachians Monday night.
The sticky air will then encompass more of the mid-Atlantic, eastern Great Lakes and even northward to the St. Lawrence Valley on Tuesday.
While rising in Washington, D.C., and New York City, humidity will remain pleasantly low in Boston and Portland, Maine.

Thunderstorms will stretch across the interior on Tuesday. The concern for drenching and gusty thunderstorms is greatest across the eastern Great Lakes and upper Ohio Valley.
Cities at risk for the heavier thunderstorms on Tuesday include Pittsburgh; Columbus and Cleveland, Ohio; Detroit; Buffalo and Watertown, New York; and Toronto, Ontario.
Dry weather is expected to hold along the I-95 corridor. However, spotty afternoon thunderstorms will come close to Washington, D.C., and Baltimore -- rattling the northern and western suburbs.
Wednesday is when the atmospheric faucet may be turned wide open throughout the Northeast. Drenching thunderstorms will return this day and may continue into the nighttime hours.
The second half of Wednesday is likely to be more active than the morning along the I-95 corridor, potentially meaning a slow commute home from work with possible flight delays. Baseball games at Oriole Park in Baltimore, Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia and Citi Field in New York City could face delays.
The thunderstorm chance will linger across New England through Thursday. The could to be said for more of the Northeast this day if the storm is slower to depart.
