Outlook
Dry and relatively cool high pressure will move across the area through today. The high will move off the southeast coast on Thursday while an upper ridge builds across the Deep South late in the week into the weekend. This will lead to warm early summer-like conditions with only a small chance of mainly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms.
