Our weather remains calm as a "blocking" pattern takes hold. Specifically, an Omega blocking pattern is setting up, which will keep conditions quiet and stable for the next week or so. This high-pressure system will prevent significant weather changes, ensuring mostly clear skies and mild temperatures throughout the period.
