Damp start to weekend, clearing sun Sunday before rain returns

Light rain and thick clouds are lingering behind a departing storm over New England, with a chilly west wind. Temperatures will hold in the mid-40s, with drizzle continuing this evening. Morning readings will fall back into the upper 30s.

High pressure will build in from the west on Sunday, bringing dry and milder conditions, as temperatures climb into the low 50s, with clouds eroding to yield partly sunny skies.

Low pressure will track across the Midwest and Great Lakes on Monday, with a cold front swinging through the state, triggering showers. The weather will briefly turn mild, as readings reach the upper 50s.

Breezy and colder weather will follow in the wake of the front to begin the holiday travel period Tuesday. Highs will fall back into the low 40s, with a mix of clouds and sunshine.

A storm developing in the southern Plains will track east midweek, bringing increasing clouds on Wednesday, and a swath of rain and snow in the Midwest that will correct travel problems for the holiday. A mix of rain and snow will overspread Ohio late Wednesday night and continue on Thanksgiving.

Windy and colder weather will follow on Black Friday, with scattered flurries and temperatures in the 30s
