"After that, it's looking fantastic for the rest of the work week," NWS meteorologist Aaron Reynolds tells WBEN. Afternoon highs in the mid 60s to low 70s can be expected for most of the area

Fair and dry weather returns areawide Tuesday, with a day to day warming trend and summer-like weather for the the second half of the week.

Temperatures will climb into the low to mid 70's for Tuesday, then the start of a summery stretch will begin Wednesday when the mercury will soar to the lower 80s across the bulk of the region.
