We spend another day under a caution flag with threat for a few storms & breezy conditions mainly late this afternoon and evening.  Storms will still be capable of producing locally heavy rainfall. But latest satellite imagery & supporting model guidance depicts a nice punch of dry air building in behind the frontal boundary, setting the scene for a generally dry & cooler weekend. Rain chances return for Wednesday & Thursday next week.

    For today skies will stay mostly cloudy, highs will be in the low 80s. A bit of a dry slot will reduce our rain chances for much of the day today. Northwest flow & rotation off the Great Lakes low pressure system will toss more moisture, fragmented showers & storms into our area later this afternoon & evening. Lows fall to the low 60 tonight.

    A few leftover showers are on tap for Friday. Otherwise, the front will push east of our area & forecast will begin to settle down in time for the weekend. Highs Friday will be in the mid 70s under partly cloudy skies. A quick shortwave disturbance will skirt the northern zones Saturday. We may see a raindrop and pehaps a pop up thunderstorm or two Saturday. Aside from that small chance of rain Saturday, things will really dry out Sunday into Monday. Highs this weekend will be in the mid to upper 70s!!! Beautiful weather on tap Sunday & Monday. Mercury will touch 90 for the first half of next week. Next rainmaker comes Wednesday & Thursday.
