Tranquil, Warm Week Ahead

After being stuck in a rather active period (but who can complain...we need all the precipitation we can get!), we're settling things down this week.

There will only be two things to watch this workweek, both relatively minor. The first is a weak front that will drag across the area this evening. With the airmass as dry as it is, only a quick shower or two is expected, mainly across Southwest Virginia (as of 9 PM, a narrow band of rain, some of which isn't reaching the ground, is approaching the KY/VA border). Otherwise, expect mostly cloudy skies during the remainder of the evening, with some clearing later. The next feature will come in the form of a cold front that is expected to drop south Wednesday, coming somewhat close to the area. There will be little moisture associated with this, so precipitation is not expected. The front will retreat by Wednesday Night, leaving us with fair to partly cloudy skies. Thursday looks to be above-normal in the temperature department, with highs near 70 expected areawide.
