A beautiful end to August; fall changes ahead
After a perfect end to August, with sunshine and seasonable temperatures, a major pattern shift is on the way. A potent cold front will move through the region late Tuesday, bringing widespread light rain, gusty north-northwest winds, and a sharp drop in temperatures.
High pressure holds with late-summer sun
Late-summer weather continues to wrap up our long holiday weekend, with sunshine and seasonable temperatures in the mid to upper 70s thanks to high pressure centered over the Great Lakes. A taste of fall is on the way by midweek, bringing much cooler temperatures.
Patchy overnight fog possible as quiet Labor Day weekend unfolds
Overnight patchy fog will make for a calm start to Sunday, continuing a warm and comfortable weekend. Later in the week, a strong cold front will sweep in, causing temperatures to drop and widespread showers to develop.
Cloudy, foggy kickoff to the holiday weekend
Get ready for a classic late-summer holiday weekend. Temperatures will stay close to seasonal averages, warming into the mid to upper 70s, accompanied by plenty of sunshine and dry conditions through Sunday.
Wrapping up the fair with a weather win
The final days of the State Fair are shaping up to be just as pleasant as the start, with more sunshine and seasonable temps on the way. A few light rain showers are possible Friday, but nothing that should soak your cheese curds, or disrupt your fair day plans. Expect highs in the mid to upper 70s, a slight uptick in humidity, and light winds out of the east to southeast.
