Sunny and 75, is that a pretty good way to describe the week, generally speaking? Chris Yates, Chief Meteorologist, WMBD-TV.

Chris YatesGUEST
We've got a nice little blocking pattern that is kind of set up with high pressure building across the country, and these blocking patterns just don't move.

Chris YatesGUEST
And so when you get stuck in the right spot with one of them, things tend to be quite nice.

Chris YatesGUEST
And since the high pressure system that we do have is come from Canada, it's going to keep all the humidity away.

Chris YatesGUEST
That's just due to there's a cold front coming in, but with very little moisture, that front's going to pass through with nothing more than a wind shift.

I mean, if it's gonna get to 75 and 80, though, it's not like that's gonna last till 3:00 in the afternoon, I wouldn't think.

Chris YatesGUEST
So the dew points every night here, they're generally gonna be stuck into the 40s.

Chris YatesGUEST
And while the air temperature isn't quite that cold, the actual ground temperature can get a little bit closer.

Chris YatesGUEST
Um, the dew points are gonna come up a little bit here for the middle part of the week.

Chris YatesGUEST
So, uh, we'll be, they'll be back up to near 60 on Wednesday, and then they'll start to drop off again into the 30s and 40s.

What about, though, out west, October heat wave in California, but just some of Calif- I know it's a big state, so it's probably a pretty wide swath, but this huge heat wave, but doesn't seem to be taking a whole lot of space, doesn't seem to be advancing toward Nevada or the mountains or anything like that.
