today, as you see off in the horizon we will see sun moving through the clouds or peeking through the clouds i should say. but it's not going to be a blue sky kind of a day. a breeze is picking up a little bit. a disturbance out to the west is getting closer and as it does, the rain chances go up into the afternoon. so we will show you how that plays out right now. 66 degrees the temperature at

to the north and northeast up toward the great lakes. what that means is the rotation here that you see up around lake michigan and heading up into basically canada, is going to be where the low is centered. but it's going to be spinning around some of the moisture and kick it into the area. what we will see is the cloud increasing. we will see breaks through the afternoon. but as this front starts to approach, wool see more and more of the rain chance into the afternoon and into the overnight and lingering through tomorrow. now tomorrow will not be a day where your plans will be completely washed-up. but the showers will be widely scattered all through the day. and it's going to take a while for the system to get out of here. by monday we will be dealing with the chance of showers and potentially thundershowers until tuesday and wednesday after it gets out of here. we start to clear up and our temperatures soar again. we will be back up to 90 again by the middle of the week into wednesday. we will see temperatures close to what they were yesterday almost a carbon copy if you take yesterday and lipt lift it into the middle of next week, that's what we will have. rise
