Today will be a mostly cloudy day and it will be cooler as a northerly flow from high pressure over the Great Lakes dominates our weather.

Another mostly cloudy day on Sunday and there will be a chance of rain at night as a warm front approaches our area.

Most of the day on Monday we will be in the warm sector and we should stay dry and quite mild but a low pressure area will give us rain Monday night into Tuesday with cooler temperatures on Tuesday.

There may be a break in the showers Wednesday afternoon and during the day on Thursday but another low pressure will give us a good chance of rain Thursday night into Friday.
