Justin Liles: Fair weather skies reign!

A ridge of drier air has settled into the Northland. This will allow temperatures to be above at or above normal through the rest of the week. A cold front will come swinging through late Thursday into Friday. Some showers and storms are possible but severe weather looks weak now.

Another round of drier air moves in over the weekend. However, on Saturday a lake breeze will keep shoreline communities much cooler. Sunday and Monday looks warmer and there might even be a stray sprinkle Monday but as of now we’re keeping it dry.
