Nice Weather Sunday and Monday

The cold front that generated a few severe thunderstorms with large hail and damaging winds along the Wisconsin state line on Saturday morning continues to slide off to the southeast.  There were a few sprinkles and light rain showers early this evening as a disturbance moved out of Iowa toward northern Illinois. Skies have become partly cloudy, and temperatures will drop to the upper 50's by daybreak. Sunday will start off with mostly sunny skies, but some cumulus clouds will pop up by mid to late morning, and last through mid afternoon. There could be some isolated showers in the afternoon, mainly north of the Wisconsin line.. High temperatures will be in the upper 70's on Sunday. On Sunday night high pressure will slide from northwestern Iowa into northwestern Illinois.  Skies will be mostly clear and temperatures will drop to near 57 degrees with light and variable winds.  It will be mostly sunny on Monday as the high shifts slowly toward the east into northern Indiana by supper time.  With the high to the east surface winds, will become light southerly on Monday night.  There will be a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms on Monday night as the next disturbance moves toward northern Illinois from the plains states.  By Tuesday the high will be over West Virginia, and a warm from will move across the area by afternoon scattering some showers and thunderstorms across the Stateline as it moves northeast.  There will be a good chance of showers and thunderstorms on Tuesday night, and it will be warmer and more humid with an overnight low in the upper 60's.  It will be breezy and very warm on Wednesday in advance of the next cold front.  The Gulf of Mexico will not be feeding a direct line of moisture northward, so no widespread thunderstorm activity is expected.  Highs on Wednesday will be around 86 degrees.  Following the front high pressure will take complete control of area weather once again.  It will be sunny on Thursday and Friday  with high temperatures in the low 80's.
