Prevailing high pressure will continue to dominate the Commonwealth throughout most of the week. This will bring predominantly dry conditions and above average temperatures for most of the week. Monday looks to be picturesque with abundant sunshine and temperatures climbing to the upper 60s. Tuesday will feature sun with a few passing clouds and highs in the mid 60s. More clouds start to encroach on the region on Wednesday, but temperatures will reach the mid 60s once again. Clouds will retreat on Thursday, paving the way for temperatures to soar in the low to mid 70s, more than 15 degrees above average. Those well above average temperatures and mainly sunny skies will persist on Friday. Heading into the weekend, clouds will build up once again, but expect dry conditions to remain.
