High pressure should dominate our weather Tuesday through Thursday. Temperatures will be slightly below normal on Tuesday then near or slightly above normal Wednesday and Thursday.
A frontal system will likely give us precipitation on Friday but at this time it should be just in the form of rain. This system should not be that strong with only light to moderate rain expected.
