Dry and mild air will win out for the balance of this week around Harrisburg, instead of a repeat of last week's chilly and dreary spell.
The weather continues to improve from last week's dull and dreary spell.
For those who viewed Sunday as spectacular, Monday will be even milder with temperatures rising into the lower 70s.
A high in the lower 60s is more common this time of year.

Those who have yet to finalize their taxes may regret not doing so when it was cloudy and damp. It will be hard to resist the temptation to get outdoors for a walk, hike or other activities.

Clouds also filtering in on Monday will precede the cold front set to return a band of rain late Monday night. The rain will hold off until after the Harrisburg Senators' game against Bowie Baysox Monday evening and will linger past sunrise Tuesday toward Lancaster.
Unlike last week, the front will not be followed by an extended cloudy, dreary and chilly spell.
While a few degrees will get shaved off Monday's high for Tuesday, the day will still be comfortable for mid-April as some sunshine returns.

Cool air and rain will remain on hold through Wednesday and Thursday, but may return soon after.
After rain attempts to interfere with outdoor activities Friday and into a part of next weekend, AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Mark Paquette states that, "signs point to a slow-moving storm stalling somewhere near the Northeast and causing another extended period of damp, cloudy and cool weather next week."
During that period, the air will be cool but not be quite as chilly as the recent dreary spell.
"We will not be dealing with a Canadian air mass," Paquette continued. "The storm will instead be manufacturing its own cool air with clouds limiting the warmer April sun."
