Overview
- A cold front that moved through late Friday pushed noticeably drier air into much of the Midwest and Northeast and ended a stretch of summerlike humidity.
- Showers and isolated thunderstorms that developed Saturday night into Sunday are tapering in most places though pockets of heavy rain and a few rumbles remain in the Pacific Northwest, Great Lakes and parts of the Northeast.
- Forecasters warn of gusty post‑front winds, with gusts commonly forecast near 30 to 35 mph in exposed coastal zones, mountain crests and inland areas, raising marine and beach hazards.
- Local cautions tied to the system included a Flood Watch in portions of northeastern Kentucky through early Sunday and National Weather Service advisories about dangerous swimming conditions on northwest Indiana beaches.
- Models diverge next week: guidance shows a pronounced cool down by Tuesday across parts of the West and Plains while separate areas—notably central and eastern Kentucky and pockets of the South—could climb back into the upper 80s and 90s by midweek with elevated heat‑index values.
