Brief cooldown Saturday followed by recovering temperatures

 

It was certainly an active afternoon and evening last night as multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms moved through the region. Although we experienced some pretty loud thunderstorms, our severe weather never materialized. However, for other areas across the Great Lakes and Plains multiple instances of severe weather reported. The strongest of which occurred in Southwestern Michigan as multiple strong tornadoes impacted multiple communities yesterday afternoon.

As this system continues to pass to our east today we'll see temperatures drop across the region as a cold front passes through this morning. At 5:15 am we're currently sitting in the upper 50's with the cooldown expected to begin soon, but through the morning we should achieve our high temperature in the mid 50's as this front approaches. As this front moves in a few isolated showers will still be possible, however the biggest impact we'll feel from this front will be gusty winds behind it along with temperatures gradually dropping through the afternoon.

As winds pickup today they will be orientated out of the northwest keeping some chill in the air. Into the evening though winds will gradually shift out of the southwest which will continue through the next two days. This will quickly warm us up back into the 60's tomorrow and possibly even make a run at 70° Monday!
