Sunny, dry conditions with comfortable temperatures are expected to continue through the weekend across the Midwest.

Sunny, dry conditions are expected to continue through the weekend across the Midwest, with high pressure keeping skies bright and comfortable temperatures prevailing. Daytime highs will reach the middle to upper 70s, with overnight lows settling into the middle to upper 40s and potentially near 50 degrees by the weekend. According to WIFR, temperatures are running approximately 15 degrees above average for this time of year.

Clear skies and calm winds will dominate through the end of the week, though WIFR reports that patchy fog may develop in low-lying areas by early Friday morning and could be more widespread east of the I-39 corridor. The pleasant conditions will persist through Saturday and Sunday, which will remain both warm and very dry. Light jackets will be needed for early mornings and evenings, but can be shed by afternoon.

The stable weather pattern will break down early next week. WIFR reports that a cold front will begin pushing through the area on Monday, bringing mostly cloudy skies with a few showers possible as conditions move into Tuesday. Temperatures will cool to the lower 60s early in the week as slightly cooler air moves in with the next storm system. However, early November temperatures are still expected to trend warmer than average overall.
