Drier conditions will filter and settle into the region today, persisting through the entirety of the workweek.

Today will be mostly sunny with a high in the upper 70s, followed by a mostly clear sky tonight as temperatures fall down into the lower 50s, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington.

The NWS said a dry airmass will become entrenched across the Ohio Valley for most, if not all, of the upcoming week, leading to below normal temperatures and abundant sunshine, especially midweek.

Tuesday brings more sunny skies and pleasant conditions with highs in the 70s. Tuesday night will be mostly clear but cool with an overnight low around 51 degrees.

Sunny skies are expected Wednesday with a high near 77 degrees, followed by a clear and cool overnight. The low will fall to around 53 degrees.

Thursday will be sunny and warmer with a high near 82 degrees. Skies will be clear with an overnight low around 56 degrees.

A gradual warming trend will evolve once again by the weekend, according to the NWS.
