To begin the period, a ridge of high pressure has moved over the area and will control the weather pattern through at least the middle part of this week. This will usher in calm and dry conditions with rain chances staying on the low end. The next chance for rain will be Friday.
Given recent heavy rainfall and calm winds, widespread dense fog will be possible across portions of the state through Monday morning. Make sure to give yourself extra time to get to where you are going this morning.
Temperatures will remain average to slightly above average through the period. High temperatures are likely to top out in the mid 60s to upper 70s through the middle of this week. Overnight low temperatures are expected to drop into the upper 40s to upper 50s.
