    Northerly air flow aloft brings refreshing temperatures today and tomorrow. Rain chances and warmer air is on tap for Wednesday. We'll keep rain in the forecast Thursday & Friday. Low pressure will finally make an exit by early Saturday. ETA on another big warm up is next Wednesday.

    For today, it's a sun/cloud mix early with clearing skies into this afternoon & evening. Upper air flow out of the north allowing lots of cool air to mix in with surface temps. Highs will reach a modest 75. Thick valley fog will develop overnight. Otherwise, skies will be generally clear. Lows fall to around 50 tonight.

    Plenty of sunshine is in the forecast for Tuesday. Temperatures will stay pleasant with highs in the low to mid 70s. Weak low pressure will encroach on the northern sections and the Eastern Panhandle Tuesday evening. So these zones may see a drop of rain Tuesday evening. Low will then push northeast leaving generally clear skies Tuesday night into early Wednesday.

    Stronger low pressure will make its way into the Great Lakes region during the day Wednesday. Expect increasing cloud cover, showers and a few thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon & evening. Warmer temperatures are also in store as the upper air flow turns southwest ahead of the front. We'll be in the warm sector from Wednesday into next week. Clouds, rain and thunder will stay in the forecast Thursday, Friday and early Saturday as that low stalls over the Appalachians. Rain ends Saturday evening. Even warmer temperatures are in store by midweek next week.
