A cool weekend

Strong low pressure caused windy conditions across the Stateline today as it moved across Lake Superior into southeast Ontario.  Winds gusted to 35 mph from the west this afternoon drawing cooler Canadian air across the midwest.  It was mostly cloudy through the early afternoon, the clouds broke, and it was mostly sunny by sunset as a bubble of Canadian high pressure settled into the upper midwest.  Ovenight lows will drop into the cool mid 40's under clear skies and lighter winds.  Clouds will increase again on Saturday morning as then next disturbance moves southeast from the northern plains.  It will be mostly cloudy to cloudy by early afternoon with a fair chance of some showers.  If there is any lightning with this system, it will probably occur to the far west or south of Interstate 80.  A few showers may linger into the evening, but high pressure from Canada will once again push the clouds off to the southeast, and overnight temperatures will drop into the middle 40's.  With high pressure in control, it will be mostly sunny on Sunday and Monday.  Afternoon temperatures will rise to near 70 degrees on Monday, and remain in the low to middle 70's for the rest of the work week. Right now it appears as if it will be a dry period from Sunday through Friday of next week.
