Dry high pressure will linger to our south through the first half of the week giving our region above normal temperatures and more humidity than we`ve felt lately. Small chances of showers and storms do return to some areas of the mountains in the middle of the week. A front will approach our area from the west through the middle of the week, and could bring more showers and thunderstorms by Friday and into the weekend.
