Gusty east-northeast winds will keep temperatures cooler by the lake today and tomorrow.

Today will have spotty showers possible in the morning to early afternoon. An east-northeast wind will strengthen midday, keeping temperatures cooler by the lake. The head of the lake and the North Shore will only reach the 40s to low 50s while areas inland warm to the 60s.
