High pressure will strengthen over the region through the weekend, leading to much warmer temperatures and dry conditions. Looking at a nice day out there today under mostly sunny skies with highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s, northeast winds 5-15 mph at times. Temperatures will continue to climb tomorrow into the weekend as highs reach the mid-70s, while overnight lows cool to the 30s and 40s. This ridge will peak in intensity early next week, where daytime highs could top out in the lower 80s, 15-20 degrees above average. We will experience some minor cooling by the middle of next week as high pressure weakens, with dry weather ahead for now.
