Warm, sticky weekend with pop-up showers, storms
A southwesterly flow of moist air has kept keep skies mostly cloudy this weekend. The passage of a weak cold front will trigger a few showers and storms through late afternoon east of the I-71 corridor. Readings will top out in the upper 70s, with some breaks of sunshine.
High pressure will build down across the central Great Lakes tonight and Monday, providing a respite from the rain, except in the southern counties, where the stalled front will lead to scattered showers and a few storms.
The boundary will lift slowly north on Tuesday as a warm front, with showers and storms developing, with a few on the strong side.
The weather pattern will be active through the week, as a series of disturbances moves east from the southern Plains to the central Great Lakes, bringing rounds of showers and storms. A cold front will slip southeast early Wednesday, but head north again with more storms midweek.
A more potent cold front will cross the state Wednesday night, bringing much cooler weather at the end of the week, with high temperatures in the 60s. A few showers are possible even next weekend in a cool, unstable northwesterly flow.
