A rather nice day on Thursday. After a quite chilly start into the lower 20s, lots of sunshine (with just a few cumulus clouds) made its way into the area, though with a brief round of some low stratus and light fog just after sunrise. Skies remained clear overnight, with lows into the upper 20s. |

Two rounds of rain over the past 24 hours. The first arrived around midday on Sunday with the approach of a secondary warm front, but decayed rather quickly upon approach. Lots of clouds then lingered through the afternoon, preventing much in the way of heating but with quite humid conditions as dew points rose to near 60 degrees. Another round of showers arrived into late evening and through about 1:30 am as the remnants of upstream convection pushed through the area. Windy conditions developed just before sunrise as drier air began to push into the region. |

Kind of a changeable weather day across the area the on Wednesday, as a warm front quickly lifted through the area during the afternoon. Sadly, warmth aloft never mixed down thanks to pesky cloud cover, leaving highs only in the middle 50s. Winds ramped up into the evening/overnight hours, ahead of another strong cold front. That front brought lots of showers and storms across Lake Michigan, but with activity rapidly weakening as it approached this area. |
