In fact, AccuWeather predicted that midweek temperatures would be 5 to 15 degrees lower than historical averages, with highs in the 70s and low humidity.
The weather service said that showers will persist through Thursday, bringing with them afternoon highs in the low to mid-70s "which will make for a very comfortable, if not slightly cool, for late May, day."
