Dry, cool, and quiet this morning which is the same trend we have been dealing with and will continue through the long-term forecast. High pressure will continue to have a grip on the region. A weak front will try to move in by late Wednesday. However, there will not be any surge of cool air behind it. Temperatures will trend above average for the rest of the week and into next week as well along with staying dry.
