## A quiet, cool weekend
Saturday came in mostly sunny with highs in the mid to upper 60s. The calm carries into Sunday.
## Light showers overnight
A few showers push light rain into southern parts of the region overnight. Totals stay small and they clear out by mid morning.

> Not much rain is expected from the showers, and they exit mid-morning.
## Upper 30s up north
Northern areas drop into the upper 30s for the first time in a while. Most other spots bottom out in the 40s.
## Canadian air meets sunshine
Cool air from Canada and daytime heating cancel each other out Sunday afternoon, holding highs near average in the mid to upper 60s.
## Monday's weather maker
A complex low sweeps in Monday with showers and a chance of thunder, starting west late morning and sliding east. Some spots pick up 0.5 to 1 inch.

> Some areas will see pockets of moderate to heavy rain as the system moves east.
## Wind, then a warm finish
Southeast gusts top 30 mph Monday afternoon before flipping west overnight, and Tuesday stays windy. By late week, highs climb back into the 70s.
## Key takeaway

Enjoy Sunday outside, then plan Monday around rain and strong wind before the 70s return late week.
