The week will start off colder and dry. Precipitation chances will increase at weeks end for Thursday and Friday with overall temperatures increasing. High temperatures will start off in the 40's increasing to the low to mid 50's by the middle and end of the week. Low temperatures will start in the mid 20's increasing to the low to mid 30's as the week progresses. Water conditions will vary throughout the week by location, but are mostly rated good. Small Craft Advisories are possible for Monday into Tuesday and then Wednesday and Thursday again. Winds will be max of 25 knots and seas to 4 feet. By Thursday there will be a decent south, southwesterly flow. Surf conditions will be normal for the week with maybe some moderate conditions for Monday into Tuesday and then Wednesday again with gustier winds.
The low pressure system that moved through on Sunday will trail a cold front southward into the region on Monday. Strong high pressure will build into the area late on Monday through Thursday. There may be a brief, weak cold front moving through the area on late Wednesday/Thursday. Southern Plains low pressure will move northeast into the Great Lakes, pulling a warm front to our northeast on Friday and into the weekend.
