LOOK FOR A DRY EASTERLY FLOW AROUND A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE
NOSING INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES TODAY. EXPECT SLIGHTLY
BELOW NORMAL HIGH TEMPERATURES AROUND 60 DEGREES WITH THE COOL
EAST WINDS OFF OF LAKE MICHIGAN AND MODERATE RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES.
CLOUDS WILL SLOWLY INCREASE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT AS DEVELOPING
LOW PRESSURE SLOWLY APPROACHES FROM THE PLAINS. THE PUSH OF MOISTURE

TO YOUR LOCATION...BUT NOT UNTIL MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
