Extended forecast forecast:

High pressure keeps temperatures warm and skies clear over the next few days, with temperatures warming through at least Wednesday. Our next weather maker is still a little beyond the seven-day window at the moment, and will likely arrive late next weekend. At the very least, there is a lull on our way, with rain chances still waiting to be seen. Stay tuned.
