Still No Rain! The weather will stay nice & quiet in the short term as a big area of High Pressure moves off the NE coast. Our winds will shift to the SSE over the next few days and the temps should be able to make it into the Upper 70s to near 80. A weak shortwave will try to slam into the upper level ridge Tonight & Tuesday, but it will make very little progress to the East....that means all of the rain will stay in the Ohio Valley. All of the computer models agree now that a Tropical Area of Low Pressure will develop off the East Coast of Florida over the next few days. They all take it due West into The Gulf of Mexico...that means no tropical rains for us. Rain chances will be sparse for most of the week.
