Beautiful start to May, weekend showers

High pressure will provide sunshine and warm weather to start the month of May. Afternoon temperatures will approach 80 degrees, with a light southeast breeze. 

A few clouds this evening will arrive with a weak cold front that will come through dry and stall over the region, before lifting north Thursday as a warm front. Overnight readings will stay in the 60s.

Thursday will be the warmest day of the week, as winds shift back to the south, with readings in the mid-80s and lots of sunshine. Clouds ahead of a warm front could bring a shower or storm.

More clouds will arrive on Friday, coupled with afternoon showers and storms, as a storm system in the middle of the county moves toward the Great Lakes.

A trailing cold front will keep showers and a few storms in the forecast to start the weekend, with a slight cooldown.
