Blustery fall day, cooler week ahead

A cold front crossed the state, accompanied by gusty westerly winds (20-30 mph) behind low pressure over the eastern Lakes. Scattered showers will linger across the northern half of the state, with a few thunderstorms north of U.S. 30 this evening.

Winds will weaken overnight, with some partial clearing and morning cooler lows in the low to mid-50s. Skies will clear for a time on Monday before clouds fill in, with a late-day shower in the north. Readings will remain in the 60s.

A broad upper-air disturbance will linger over the lower Great Lakes, keeping skies mostly cloudy, along with a few showers developing Monday night and lingering on Tuesday, especially across the northern half of the state.
