.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 210 AM EDT Wed Jul 29 2026

Canadian High pressure settles overhead beneath a persistent
northwest flow aloft. While the larger scale upper-level pattern
may fluctuate somewhat with time, little overall change is
expected through much of the forecast period, favoring a
continued stretch of generally dry and seasonable temperatures
with increasing temperatures, humidity, and shower chances as we
get to the latter half of the week.

Winds will continue to ease as high pressure works overhead,
allowing for efficient radiational cooling... Featuring more of
the same with cooler overnight temperatures (like last night)
expected for tonight across the traditional colder interior
locations. Overnight lows could dip into the low 50s to upper
40s before quickly rebounding after sunrise. Despite the cool
starts, afternoon temperatures today and Thursday should
steadily moderate with locations climbing back into the 70s and
80s under plentiful sunshine.

Attention then turns toward late week into the weekend as
northwest flow persists and a couple of subtle disturbances
attempt to work southeast across the Upper Great Lakes.
Confidence remains lower regarding the timing and coverage of
any precipitation, though the current signal continues to favor
at least low chances for scattered showers and perhaps a few
thunderstorms sometime Friday into Saturday...Stay tuned!
