Warm week ahead! High pressure will keep things very warm and mostly dry through much of the week, with afternoon highs running above normal and a few spots possibly topping 80°. A weak disturbance may bring a few showers Wednesday, but overall rain chances stay low. One more thing to watch: morning fog is likely the next few mornings allow extra travel time, use low beams, and be cautious on bridges and low-lying areas. Looking ahead to this weekend (heading into Mardi Gras) confidence is growing that a potent system will move through, increasing the chance for showers and storms. This setup could support locally heavy rain and a few strong/severe storms, but timing and exact impacts are still uncertain this far out. Check back for forecast updates daily.
