High pressure north of the Great Lakes will give us a partly sunny and cooler day today with low humidity.

A frontal system approaching from the west will give us periods of rain mainly after 8 a.m.on Sunday, some of the rain may be heavy at times in the afternoon and evening. Rainfall amounts will average between 1-2 inches with higher amounts possible.

Very unsettled weather next week as there will be a front to our south and high pressure to our north. Models are quite a bit different with the GFS model showing showers all week with even a coastal storm on Thursday while the European model has the high pressure strong enough to keep most of the area dry. Regardless of the outcome it will be unseasonably cool all week with highs each day only in the 60s.
