The remnants of Hurricane Francine remain to our south, sending only high cloud cover and a few sprinkles our way through Saturday. Most, if not all, areas will remain dry through the weekend.

A building ridge of high pressure over the Great Lakes responsible for shunting the tropical system away will send temperatures soaring Sunday into next week.
