The remnants of the trough will disperse on Monday(unsettled conditions) as the ridge begins to rebuild into early next week. Tuesday into next Friday at this time look like warm sunny days. An amazing stretch of warm dry weather, remember to be careful as the fire danger will increase as the week progress. Update on next weeks weather on Monday.
