A somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a scale of 0 to 10.

  • Tonight: Clear and calm. Lows: 26-34
  • Tomorrow: Mostly sunny, light breeze. Highs: 54-60

Tomorrow (Friday): The sun does a little better at warming up the area with highs mainly in the mid-to-upper 50s but a few spots could top 60. Winds are light from the south. Confidence: High

Tomorrow night: Scattered clouds should not detract from viewing Jupiter. It is at its closest to us for the year, but that bright glow still takes over 33 minutes just to reach us! Winds are calm and lows range through the 30s. Confidence: High

Sunshine still dominates on Saturday but a few more clouds should zip across the sky. Winds remain minimal. Most areas reach low-to-mid 60s affording a good opportunity for an afternoon walk. Overnight lows are mainly in the mid-to-upper 30 but lower 40s downtown. Confidence: High

Sunday’s hour earlier sunrise is mainly unimpeded by clouds and highs top out in the low-to-mid 60s. The earlier sunset is a bit jarring even if conditions are calm and clear. Lows drop to upper 30s to mid-40s. Confidence: High

South breezes pick up Monday as a storm moves through the Great Lakes. Sunshine still dominates and highs climb to the mid-60s to lower 70s. Confidence: Medium-High
