Overview

• High pressure keeps many areas dry and seasonal, with cool mornings and highs mostly in the 60s to low 70s from Chicago and Madison to Louisville and Pittsburgh.
• A southerly surge pushes the Central Plains into the mid to upper 80s on Sunday, with gusts near 25–30 mph in spots such as Kansas City and readings near 90 in Oklahoma.
• The coastal low brings scattered light showers Saturday and steadier rain Sunday into Monday mainly along the immediate coast, with heavier totals and stronger winds focused at the beaches.
• El Paso turns unsettled from Saturday night through early week, with showers and storms continuing and a heavy rain risk on Monday as highs ease into the 70s.
• Cincinnati stays sunny and dry through next week, and local forecasters expect little drought improvement given the continued lack of rain.
