.DISCUSSION...
A trough will pass over the eastern Great Lakes today with scattered
showers and gusty winds. A few of these showers may produce some
small hail or graupel. Dry weather will return Sunday through much
of Tuesday as high pressure builds east across the Ohio Valley and
Mid Atlantic. Cool temperatures and gusty winds this weekend will
give way to a warming trend early next week.
