Warm and Dry

Except for a few passing high clouds, skies are clear this morning with temperatures in the lower 70s. There's not much too talk about weather wise today as an upper level ridge will become centered over the region by this evening. A few patchy afternoon cumulus will develop, but the chance of rain today is zero. Despite the fact that the ridge builds overhead, low level temperatures only warm slightly from yesterday. Therefore, highs will probably top out around 93 this afternoon. With dew points falling into the 60s this afternoon, the heat index should not be much of a factor today. Skies should be mostly clear overnight with temperatures dropping to 70 tomorrow morning.

Saturday and Sunday are shaping up to be warm days, especially Saturday as highs should be a degree or two higher than today. Saturday should be dry, but the chance of rain returns Sunday as moisture significantly increases across the area. It doesn't look like a washout by any means, but a few isolated showers are possible Sunday afternoon. Look for highs to top out in the lower 90s on Sunday. Better rain chances still appear to be next week with the arrival of a cold front by midweek.
