Benign weather conditions with a late week warmup

Following today's - Sunday's - brilliant blue skies and highs in the upper 70s the upcoming work week weather looks pretty calm. Another cold front will push south through the area Monday, bringing a very slight chance of some scattered showers. After that, a stretch of dry weather lies ahead for Mecklenburg County. 

Today marks both the end of May and the end of meteorological spring. This rather busy graphic illustrates the difference between meteorological and astronomical seasons, the latter which we've been taught with references to equinoxes and solstices:

Suffice it to say that the former is based upon the actual calendars we all use. June, July, and August comprise the hottest part of the year, thus those three months are labeled "summer" by the meteorological community.

As for temperatures, this week begins a bit cooler than average before warming back into the 90s by Friday. The heat shall return!
