Brandon Cromer's Outlook

High pressure remains in control across the Lakes area today as we can expect plenty of sunshine, yet breezy conditions by this afternoon. With a warm southerly flow, temperatures will easily top out in the mid to upper 80s. By tonight, winds will remain breezy this evening with clouds on the increase. Clouds will continue to thicken overnight with a chance for a few showers as a cold front edges closer. By Sunday, we can expect scattered showers, maybe even a rumble of thunder, especially during the earlier part of the day. An active pattern is expected over the next several days, keeping scattered showers and thunderstorms in the picture.
