Summer-like weather to stay thanks to blocking pattern aloft

You can pretty much take Sunday's weather and paste into today, tomorrow, and Wednesday's forecast as a blocking pattern remains in place aloft. 

This will keep our weather pattern warm, dry, and sun-filled into the middle of the week.

 

Afternoon highs will continue to run 13° to as much as 15° above normal, peaking in the upper 80s. Low temperatures will end up above normal, landing in the low 60s when typically were in the low 50s. On the plus side, humidity during this stretch won't play too much of a factor into outdoor plans as dew points stay in the upper 50s and low 60s. 

 

We MAY see a chance for a passing shower late in the day Wednesday into Wednesday. However, odds are slim with the richer moisture associated with the Upper Midwest staying to our northwest. Thursday is when we could see a slightly more organized chance for rain, with chances increasing a little bit more Friday and over the weekend.
