Strong high pressure along the eastern seaboard will maintain pleasant dry weather with mainly clear nigheights and mostly sunny days through mid week as it slowly moves east-southeast into the Atlantic.

Pleasant dry weather will continue through the period with a slow increase in moisture and warming temperatures expected each day under a low level east- southeast wind flow. Slightly below normal temperatures through Tuesday will moderate to near normal during mid week, then climb to above normal late in the week and into next weekend. Overnight lows in the 40s and 50s tonight and again Tuesday night will moderate into the 50s and 60s through the rest of the week, while daytime highs initially in the 70s warm into the 80s with some mid to upper 80s possible by next weekend.
