CLEVELAND - I'm Meteorologist Jason Nicholas continuing our weather web coverage today. For more weather updates, follow me on Twitter @ JasonNweather.

High pressure is wedging in providing clearing skies and cool temps. Lows Monday night will fall into the 50s for many, with even some spots inland sliding into the 40s by Tuesday morning.

More sunshine is expected for Tuesday with highs warming into the middle 70s.

80s are the on the way for Wednesday and Thursday.

After a cloudy start in some areas, mostly sunny skies are expected for the rest of the afternoon.

High pressure building over the Great Lakes will keep temperatures cool today. Expect highs near 72 along the lake and mid-70s south. It will be breezy with sustained winds 10-20 mph and gusts 25-30 mph.

Tonight, lows fall to the low 50s under clear skies.

Look for full sunshine Tuesday and Wednesday. As high pressure shifts over the East Coast later this week, southerly winds will warm temperatures to the upper 80s by Thursday.

Highs will approach 90 degrees Friday with a chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. A weak cold front will drop temperatures to the mid-to-upper 80s this weekend.
