Comfortable Start to the Work Week



A quick cold front early this morning has left us with cooler temperatures and breezy northeasterly winds today. Wind gusts as high as 25 mph will pull in drier air and keep today's highs in the upper 70s and low 80s. Winds will slowly die down overnight, with clear skies dropping temperatures quickly. We'll be around 60 by midnight and in the mid 50s for morning lows.




Clear skies will stick around for the day on Tuesday as a high pressure system reinforces the dry air. Look for highs tomorrow to hit the low to mid 80s.



Wednesday and Thursday will also bring sunshine as a warm front approaches from the west. As the front pulls northeast, a major burst of heat will filter into the Midwest. We'll see highs on Wednesday hit the low 90s, before upper 90s and triple digits are possible on Thursday.


An unsettled upper level weather pattern will shoot several waves of energy our way Friday through Sunday. As of right now, it looks like our best chance for storms with those waves will be on Friday and Saturday afternoon. Despite the cloud cover and rain chances, highs through the weekend will still hit the low 90s. The sun will return next week as a ridge of high pressure builds north. Look for the 90s to stick around until at least Tuesday.
