San Diego County will experience a cool down after an unseasonably hot weekend, and we should only have to brave this mugginess for another day as well.
Southern Californians saw mid-level moisture and cloud cover that helped lower high temperatures on Sunday as the remnants of Tropical Storm Jova continued moving away from the region, the National Weather Service said.
As of Monday afternoon, the storm was no more, according to NBC 7 Meteorologist Sheena Parveen, but its remnants could produce sprinkles or even light rain into Tuesday morning.

Tuesday highs along the coast are expected in the upper 70s as the sky begins to clear and that humidity lowers.
The sun should also show its face in inland areas, where highs could reach the mid-80s.The mountains should see highs in the upper 70s while the deserts continue to experience 100 degrees, and both regions could see wind up to 30 -35 mph, Parveen said.
If you're planning a trip to the beach, prepare for waves between 1 and 3 feet plus a moderate rip current risk.
By the end of this week and into the weekend, there will be a shift to unseasonably cool weather conditions, according to Parveen. Next week, highs in the inland communities will be in the mid-70s and the deserts will see a much-need break in 100-degree-plus temperatures with highs around 90.
Jova was downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm on Saturday but remained spiraling hundreds of miles off the coast of San Diego, close enough to bring clouds, light rain and high swells over the weekend, according to NWS.

The storm's impact was minuscule compared to Tropical Storm Hilary, which battered San Diego with 50+ mph winds and record-setting rainfall.
When it's hot, remember to drink plenty of fluids, and always have water available for your pets. Take breaks if you're working or playing outside, and checking in on your elderly friends and neighbors is also a great habit to get into. And remember to never leave your kids or pets in hot cars!
