First Alert Weather: Mild and dry Sunday may stay that way through Monday and beyond

WEATHER STORY: Our weekend weather will be under the influence of a cloud crushing high pressure system. It will be sunny and the high is positioned in such a way as to use its circular spin to push up warm southern air into our region. Those winds could also go up toward 30 mph! This high may become one of those famous “Omega Blocks” and dominate most of the week ahead. There are only slight rain chances vaguely taking shape by next weekend. Normals: 33 and 48.
