Warmer air continues to spread into the area this week...we find fewer & fewer excuses to get out of doing yard work. We'll stay dry overnight tonight. Temperatures stay modest with lows in the mid 40s.

Patchy valley fog will develop early Tuesday. That will burn off before mid-morning. Otherwise we'll see another heavy dose of sun with temperatures closing in on 80. Increasing cloud cover will creep into the area from the southwest as the day progresses. A few pop up thunderstorms threaten the area as well. Locally heavy downpours with potential for hail & strong winds are possible during the afternoon and into Tuesday night, especially to the south due to presence of warmer air & greater instability. Further north, we may escape with dry weather until sometime Thursday.

Warm trend continues with plenty of sunshine still in the forecast Wednesday. Slight chance for isolated showers & thunderstorms continues, especially to the south. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s, with lows in the upper 50s.

Expect thicker/lower cloud cover Wednesday night & Thursday. Slightly cooler temperatures with more unsettled weather is on tap Friday through this weekend.
