Staying dry through the workweek:

Today marks a full week without rain in the area. We can blame a nearly stationary atmospheric pattern called an “Omega Block,” which is keeping a surface high-pressure system in control of our local weather. We’ll continue to see sunshine through the afternoon and evening, with highs around 80.

The rest of this week will be dry and mainly sunny as the surface high stays in control. Temperatures will rise above normal, with highs in the low to mid 80s on Thursday and Friday, but humidity levels will remain comfortable.

Our dry pattern concludes this weekend as the surface high moves into the Atlantic. The high will transport a muggy/humid airmass from the Gulf into the region on its backside, and a disturbance will cross through the Great Lakes. This will set the stage for some showers and thunderstorms late Saturday into Sunday. Isolated severe storms and isolated flash flooding appear possible, so make sure you have ways to receive weather alerts. I will continue to monitor all of this, so be sure to check back in for more updates!

Have a great day!
