Tuesday... A mid to upper level ridge will continue to build
in, while at the sfc, a high pressure continues to extended down
from the northern Atlantic. This synoptic setup will lead to
dry conditions across the region. Though, Tuesday will start
out cloudy due to the low-level stratus in the morning, but will
break up leading to a partly cloudy day. Temperatures are
forecasted to reach low 80s inland and low 70s along the Outer

settle around Bermuda, meanwhile the remnants of a tropical wave
lifts up Wednesday and Thursday, causing a coastal trough along
