We are continuing to track low humidity for the rest of the week. An area of low pressure to our north is funneling in cool and dry air from Canada.

The overall setup for the northeast favors a few showers Wednesday and Thursday as a short wave trough or a ripple in the atmosphere brings a little bit of moisture to the region. We won’t see any rain, but this will continue the theme of cool and dry air moving into Southwest and Central Virginia.
