DAYTON — High pressure remains in firm control of the weather across the Miami Valley. At the surface, this high is sliding slightly eastward, allowing us to have more of a southerly component to our wind. That, in addition to high pressure also building in aloft will lead to very dry conditions and increasingly warm conditions over the next 7 days.

This will further dry out the soil. The latest drought monitor already shows abnormally dry conditions across the entire region. Drought development will begin occurring if this pattern keeps up.
