A dry and quiet weather pattern will develop across the region

persist through the mid to late week time frame, although a slight
cool down in temperatures is expected on Thursday, behind a weak
frontal boundary moving through Wednesday night. High Tuesday and
Wednesday will be in the 70s, cooling into the upper 60s by
Thursday and then rebounding into the 70s again by Friday.
