Sunshine Continues...Temperatures Warm

A strong high pressure system will continue through the weekend blocking any systems in the west from moving into the Great Lakes.  Day by day temperatures will also begin to warm back into the upper 80s by early next week.  By the middle of the week, however, the ridge will begin to break down and allow the jetstream to become more zonal (meaning winds moving from west to east).  This will allow storm systems to track across the Midwest and into the Upper Great Lakes.  As it looks now, a cold front will sweep through next Wednesday into Thursday.  As it does, there could be a good amount of moisture that gets caught up with this system which could potentially lead to some heavy rains somewhere across the Midwest.
