Rain chances hold off for Memorial Day celebrations

Weather-wise, there hasn't been much to complain about over the holiday weekend. Each day has featured a good mixture of sun and clouds with highs hanging around the 70° mark. Same story, different day as high pressure continues to sit comfortably over the northern Great Lakes. 

Though winds remain cool off of Lake Michigan, we can expect afternoon temperatures to land pleasantly on either side of the 70° mark. Enjoy!

Changes begin to slowly spiral in overnight as a weak area of low pressure inches closer. This will allow our cloud cover to increase overnight, leaving us mostly cloudy come Tuesday's morning commute. Though our rain chances will be hit-or-miss Tuesday, I'd still recommend having the umbrella with you just in case you are outside and run into a shower. 

The better shower chances hold off until late Tuesday evening and Tuesday night as the low itself swings into the central Great Lakes. A few heavy downpours cannot be ruled out during this time. Come Wednesday, showers are likely to turn more scattered in coverage once again and should be confined to the early portion of the day. Mixed sunshine may emerge by the afternoon hours, allowing temperatures to climb back into the upper 60s.

There may be enough moisture leftover for a shower Thursday or Friday. However, it will be at this point in the week where our focus will shift from rain chances to a warm up that will likely spill into the final weekend of May. Afternoon highs will end up closer to the 80° mark Friday, and then remain in the mid to upper 70s Saturday and Sunday.
