Chance of showers Friday evening; Cooler this weekend
High temperatures today reached the middle to upper 70s with mostly sunny skies. Winds out of the northwest about 15 mph helped temperatures near the shoreline, because the wind direction was coming over the land instead of over the water.
Severe weather continues across parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey while dry weather extends across the Upper Midwest. We will continue to see mainly dry conditions through tomorrow afternoon.

More cloud cover will build in the afternoon, and afternoon temperatures will be several degrees cooler at the shoreline. High temperatures will likely reach the middle 60s in Alpena with light winds out of the southeast.
