Patchy Clouds, Warm

A few passing low clouds this morning kept temperatures in the lower 70s for the most part. These clouds should move off to the south shortly and will provide for a mostly sunny morning. Temperatures will quickly warm again this morning and through the afternoon as an upper level ridge reestablishes itself. This time, we'll be closer to the center of the ridge rather than the eastern periphery, which will squash any chance of rain and will allow for some warm temperatures this afternoon. The strong afternoon sun will likely lead to the development of a few patchy cumulus clouds as temperatures manage to top out near 93. With the heat index factored in, it will feel like the temperature is in the upper 90s at times this afternoon. Skies should be clear this evening with temperatures dropping to near 70 by sunrise. The next few days appear to be relatively dry and warm, but rain chances will increase by the middle of next week as a cold front approaches the region.
