.DISCUSSION...

Mostly dry this week, with only a 20-35 percent chance for rain
showers mainly in Michigan and north of US 6 in Indiana this
afternoon into tonight. Partly to mostly sunny skies are expected
through the middle of next week. Highs in the mid to upper 60s and
low 70s will climb into the low to mid 70s for early next week.
Minimum afternoon humidities will linger in the 35 to 55 percent
range through the period, with the exception of today where values
will be closer to 30 to 45 percent. Light easterly winds will
strengthen slightly and shift south-southwest today ahead of a cold
front. Tonight into Saturday expect a shift to the N-NW, eventually
returning to the east Sunday. Monday will be light and variable, then
northerly flow returns for Tuesday and Wednesday.
