A mild, mostly dry start leads into a warmer and breezy Monday afternoon. Temperatures climb from the 50s in the morning into the low to mid‑80s, with mostly cloudy skies. A few isolated showers are possible later in the day, though many spots will stay dry. Any rainfall would be light.

The heat builds through midweek. Temperatures run well above average Tuesday and Wednesday, with record highs possible. While humidity stays relatively low, the extended heat is unusual for mid‑April. Take heat safety precautions, especially during afternoon and early evening hours.
