What we're tracking: An unusually cool and quiet period is expected on Friday, followed by more clouds and some precipitation over the weekend.
Next 24 hours: Any clouds this afternoon or evening will disappear after sunset and temperatures drop into the low 50s. Temperatures will drop into the 40s in some cooler areas. Conditions are expected to be more similar on Thursday, with temperatures reaching the 70s and some clouds in the afternoon.
Looking to the future: After a quiet Friday with more clouds than Thursday, weekend temperatures are slightly warmer (mid 70s to low 80s), but still below average. A weak system south of the region and a cold front heading south into northern Michigan will lead to more clouds and possible showers over the weekend. As a significant system moves eastward to the south of the region during the first part of the new work week, it pulls in another system or front from Canada. This results in a daily chance of light showers and thunderstorms, while high temperatures remain near or slightly below average. By the end of the work week and into the following weekend, the pattern will revert to typical July patterns with higher temperature and humidity values and a lower chance of showers and thunderstorms.
