PLEASANT WEEK AHEAD: Nothing big changes regarding the week ahead. Sunshine with afternoon clouds will be the main forecasting points. Highs during this period through at least Friday will be in the 70s to lower 80s. There is a chance of an isolated shower or storm as we get toward the end of the week but these will be few and far between and disorganized.

PLEASANT WEEKEND: The pleasant and cool weather looks to continue into the upcoming weekend as well. Readings will remain in the 70s and 80s with sunshine along with some afternoon clouds. Things look to remain the same heading into next Monday as well. Shower chances look minuscule at this point but things could change.

LOOKING FARTHER OUT: The pattern looks to change as we go farther into the month of August. The trough over the east lifts out, but the ridge over the west weakens so a weak zonal flow looks to take hold through the end of the period. This would bring some chances of showers and storms at that time, but it’s too early to time these out at this time.
