Key Message:

1) Mostly dry weather ahead of us, with seasonal temperatures
forecast. Setting up to be a beautiful start to the work week!

Discussion...

Sunday will be the start of a stretch of beautiful weather for the
area. The cut off low will continue to slowly push off to the east,
allowing high pressure to filter into the area. While we may see
some lingering showers early Sunday morning, those will quickly move
out and leave much of the area dry through the day. High pressure
will stick around through the first half of the week, with light
winds, mostly clear skies, and seasonal temperatures.

With high pressure overhead, precipitation chances through the first
half of the week will be little to none. Mid to late week, we get
under northwest flow, which will put us in a pattern with the chance
to get a handful of weak systems that push through. Thus, Wednesday
and beyond, we can start to see precipitation chances on the rise.
At this time, we aren't seeing any hints at large and widespread
rainfall/thunderstorm events through the week.
