Big picture view:

Warm and dry conditions continue on Friday as a ridge of high pressure moves back over the area.

On Saturday we will see increasing cloud cover as the ridge shifts east. However, temperatures will remain well above average. This will open the door to some light showers on Sunday and Monday. We will be back to partly cloudy skies on Tuesday and Wednesday.
