QUICK PATTERN OVERVIEW:

No major changes. The week ahead still looks mainly dry through Wednesday and then a front will bring chances for showers and thunderstorms by Thursday and Friday. More dry weather is indicated for the weekend and early next week, with some rains for the second half of the week. Temps this week and into the weekend do not look to do anything dramatic, but will be a bit warmer than average in most areas.

1-4 DAY FORECAST:

Things will remain fairly quiet across the Midwest for today and tomorrow. By Thursday and into Friday, a cold front looks to work through the Midwest and that feature looks to bring some fairly decent chances for rains with it.

The front will be clearing the Midwest in time to bring decent weather to most of the region for the weekend.

Temps this week will be largely running in the 80’s. Some 70’s will occur in the vicinity of the Great Lakes today and cooler temps will also build into all of the Midwest behind the front later this week. Humidity will be noticeable, but will not get way out of hand.

5-10 DAY FORECAST:

Quieter weather looks to hang on across most of the region for the early part of next week as well.

There is another front seen for the Midwest by the middle to end of next week and that feature will likely bring some good chances for rains to much of the Midwest for the second half of next week.

Temps for the weekend look to be in the upper 70’s to low 80’s in most cases, with some upper 60’s not out of the question in the far north. Temps will warm back into the 80’s in most cases (including the Northwoods) by early next week and stay there into the middle of next week.
