The high pressure dome has created a shift in moisture in the Midwest (indicated by the dryline). The cold front is leaving the US to the SE and a warm from is going to follow over night continuing the warm temperatures. However, there is going to be a shift in temperatures throughout the week. Another cold front is going to be followed by a Low pressure system that could be bring and cool down temperatures to the 50s and 60s for this week. This will most likely by influenced by the continental polar air masses being brought down from the north.
