An elongated high pressure ridge stretches from southern Baffin Island in the Canadian arctic across western Quebec, the Great Lakes, Illinois, to the southern tip of Texas. It will provide the Stateline with clear skies and seasonal temperatures tonight. The ridge will shift off to the east on Tuesday allowing winds to become southerly and begin a warm up that will last for the rest of the week. The southerly winds will pump temperatures up into the low 60's on Tuesday, the low 70's on Wednesday, and the upper 70's on Thursday. It is possible that 70 degree plus maximum temperatures will occur through Friday, and continue on Saturday. Skies will be mostly sunny all week as the south to southwesterly winds prevail. A slow moving cold front will approach the area on Saturday, and may cause some thunderstorms on Saturday afternoon and Saturday night. A cold front will blow through the area on Saturday night followed by cooler temperatures on Sunday. A lingering trough of low pressure will keep skies mostly cloudy on Sunday, and could produce some scattered showers.
