Discussion

The week starts off with high pressure in control and there will be plenty of sunshine today with temperatures likely peaking in the mid-to-upper 70’s during the afternoon hours after a chilly start. After a dry and warm day on Tuesday, showers will be a threat on Tuesday night with the arrival of a frontal system. High pressure returns for the mid-week and partial sunshine on Wednesday should boost temperatures to the lower 80’s. Low pressure and associated frontal systems will result in unsettled weather conditions later this week into the weekend with the threat of showers from time-to-time and perhaps a thunderstorm or two.
