Sunny, Cooler Start to Week

Sunny skies should be the norm for the next several days.

A strong area of high pressure has now set up to the north of the Carolinas, filtering in cooler, drier air across the South. Expect highs to remain slightly below average in the 60s and 70s for the start of the workweek with plentiful sunshine. As this high-pressure system continues off to the east, however, winds will shift back to the south, allowing the heat and humidity to return to the viewing area. Temperatures will hover near 90º by Wednesday, and the hot streak should continue into the weekend. Expect mostly sunny skies to continue through the end of the week.

Monday: Sunny and comfy. High: 78°. Wind: NE 5-15.

Monday Night: Placid. Low: 60°. Wind: Light.

Tuesday: Remaining sunny. Warmer. High: 84°. Wind: SW 5-10.
