A quiet overnight period is again expected areawide, with temperatures dipping into the upper-30s and low-40s, and Monday will likely see similar conditions to Sunday, though clouds are expected to begin rolling in during the afternoon hours. Tuesday will likely see more sunshine and temperatures well above their seasonal averages, with readings in the low-60s, but the good times won’t last as things will feel a lot more like mid-to-late fall in the days ahead. Wednesday will see the arrival of a quick-moving disturbance that will sweep through the region from the northwest, and along with a chance of showers for a good chunk of the day temperatures will also slowly start to drop. Highs Wednesday are expected to reach only into the mid-50s, and for the back half of the week readings will likely only make it into the upper-40s. Friday is a day to keep an eye on the forecast, as lake-effect showers could potentially impact the area as the wind howls straight down the shores of Lake Michigan. That development could bring more rain to the areas along the Illinois-Indiana border and into northwest Indiana, with highs still only reaching the upper-40s.
