(Ctrl+V) If you feel like you`ve heard this forecast before,
honestly you`re not wrong. Go ahead and check your clipboard, or
look at the previous discussion, because we`ve basically hit the
"copy and paste"button on the forecast for the week. Sunday will
remain on theme, with afternoon highs comfortably parked in the
upper 80s to near 90 degrees across most of the region. A few of
our metro spots may even tiptoe just above 90 before the day is
done. This steady and predictable pattern will continue well into
the week ahead, as a sturdy ridge overhead keeps the skies dry and
the sun mostly in charge. Each day`s highs will hover in that same
upper-80s to low-90s range, and rain chances will remain virtually
nonexistent.

However, by late week and into next weekend, our long-range
guidance, hints that the ridge may loosen its grip some across our
region. Fairly rare for the GFS and ECMWF to agree on something
this far out, but nonetheless, we might have something to hope for
by next weekend. This is thanks to a developing trough over the
central U.S. that could start to shift the pattern. If this
happens, it could possibly allow some moisture and rain chances to
sneak back into the forecast. We are still about a week out, so
timing and moisture availability will remain in question but at
least there is a little something showing up on the forecast for
those tired of this "Groundhog Day" stretch of sunny, warm, and
dry weather. /33/
