Cool, cloudy and dreary describes the midweek. High temperatures will be running 10 to 15 degrees below normal, struggling to break the mid-60s. The difference in lake and air temps will produce lake effect clouds and rain bans. The northwesterly pattern finally ends Friday, milder and sunny weather returns for the weekend.
