No sign of winter, heavy rain biggest threat this week

 

Breezy conditions continue through the evening, waves peak as the wind turns westerly on Lake Michigan. Wind and waves subside Monday.

Skies clear and the wind calms to start the week. The first full week of January is far from winter-like. Highs hang close to 40 with little chance of snow. A weak system brushes the area Tuesday with minimum impact. Temperatures spike Thursday and Friday and  rain is likely. Minor flooding may be the biggest threat with early estimates of more than two inches possible, widespread rain to end the week.

Tonight: Partly cloudy. Low of 28.

Monday: Mostly sunny. High of 40.

Tuesday: Mostly cloudy High of 38.

Wednesday: Partly cloudy. High of 30
