Temperature Trend

A warm front will bring both instability and increasing moisture today that will support strong to severe thunderstorms through the afternoon and evening. A few of these storms may bring damaging winds and isolated large hail and heavy rain.

Temperatures will trend downward through the weekend, cool enough to support lake effect rain off both eastern Great Lakes. In addition, along convergent boundaries a few waterspouts are possible over Lakes Erie and Ontario. This cool spell will be short-lived with an upward trend to the temperatures Tuesday and back to near normal for highs on Wednesday.
