Unseasonably Warm & Dry

The workweek begins with bright sunshine and rather hot afternoon temperatures as we top-out more than 10-degrees warmer than normal. Tuesday will be warm as well, then temperatures cool off noticeably for the remainder of the workweek. The week ahead looks predominantly dry. We cannot rule out a late Tuesday shower, lingering into Tuesday night and Wednesday (along with more cloud cover).

Forecast Discussion

Dominant high pressure will be the main weather player through Tuesday. Expect plenty of sunshine and more above-normal temperatures.

A back-door cold front will sag through by Wednesday. This might generate a passing shower. More noticeably will be an increase in cloudiness and cooler temperatures for midweek. In fact, a more pleasant temperature regime will be with us from Wednesday through the upcoming weekend as the weather stays quiet.

In the tropics, Hurricane Humberto remains well east of the Southeast U.S. coastline and is headed to the northeast. This system will not affect U.S. interests.
