A ridge of high pressure will dominate the region all week long keeping our temperatures pretty toasty for late February. Our daytime highs will be 15-20 degrees warmer than normal.
90-degree afternoons are in the forecast starting by the middle of the week, with a potential for daily records may be reached or close. The best chance we may reach record levels is Saturday and Sunday. Stay tuned.
