synoptic features in the region through Sunday night. Lake
breezes that formed this afternoon will return back to the
northwest and remain light throughout the evening and overnight
hours. The next chance of precipitation arrives Sunday night into
Monday as a cold front crosses the region. No humidity concerns
today, but low/near critical afternoon humidity expected Sunday.
Gusty northwest winds will also be ushered in behind the
aforementioned cold front Monday afternoon through Tuesday
morning.
