A slow but steady warming trend along with an extended week long dry spell in the cards.

High pressure ridging in the jet stream takes over a good chunk of the nation for a good spell creating the change in the weather.

A welcome break in the high humidity, too.

But gradually the humidity will return longer range, and scattered thunderstorms will too in a week or so.

But precipitation looks only near normal or even a little below normal the next 2-6 weeks, PROVIDED any tropical weather systems stay away.

I’ve already tweeted and blogged about that previously.
