We’ve got some rather nice weather coming up for much of the first week of September.

High pressure builds into the Great Lakes today and slowly moves eastward this week. That means we’ve got dry weather through at least Friday, with cool temperatures for the first half of the week, turning milder for the second half, as the high moves offshore and winds shift into the south and southwest. As we get to the end of the week, a slow-moving frontal system will approach the region, bringing an end to our extended stretch of dry weather. Showers are likely on Saturday as a frontal system makes its way into the region. A wave of low pressure may ride along the front, which could bring in some heavier rain, but it’s too early to determine whether that will happen or not. High pressure should build back in for Sunday, but how quickly we clear out will be determined by how quickly the low pressure area pulls away from the region.
