High pressure will be taking over the weather pattern for much of the Upper Midwest for the rest of the weekend, giving us a very comfortable transition from June to July.
Cooler air continues moving in from the northwest overnight as an area of Canadian high pressure drifts across the northern Great Lakes through Monday. As a result, skies remain mostly clear and temperatures cooler than average for a little bit.
Temperatures fall to the low/mid 50s overnight, providing a cool starting point for a mild and breezy Sunday. Temperatures will only top out in the mid 70s, around 10° below average despite abundant sunshine for the last day of June.
The first day of July (!) gets a a little warmer, but still sub-80° with plenty of sun for a great start to the holiday week. The rest of the week, however, tells a different story.
We draw in much warmer air starting Monday night and especially Tuesday as highs climb back into the 80s, staying near or just above average for just about the entire week. This warm pattern also turns active, with multiple low pressure systems forecast to swing by, bringing nearly daily chances for showers and storms.
At this point, best chances for rain are late Monday night into Tuesday morning and again Tuesday evening and night. Some storms Tuesday evening could be on the stronger side, but storms may come in too late for any widespread severe risk.
Wednesday may stay dry depending on Tuesday's storms, but Thursday (yes, the 4th of July) brings our next best chances of storms. Stay updated on the forecast as you make your holiday plans, but let's all cross our fingers that we can see our own fireworks between Mother Nature's own displays.
