A weak front moves through the North Country today accompanied by some clouds and a few spotty light showers, but tomorrow is expected to be sunny although a little cooler, according to the National Weather Service.

Highs today will be in the mid 50s with west winds 10 to 15 mph.

Skies will clear tonight with lows in the low to mid 30s, with west winds diminishing slightly, forecasters say.

Tuesday will see the full effects of high pressure moving in, and a beautiful day is expected with clouds lifting through the morning and plenty of sun in the afternoon. Winds will be light and highs will be slightly cooler in the North Country, in the low to mid 50s, the weather service says.

The next chance for widespread rainfall comes Wednesday as a low pressure system moves through the area, bringing with it increasing winds through the overnight period with gusts winds in the 25 to 35 mph range expected to develop during the day on Wednesday.

Temperatures will be close to seasonal normals through Wednesday, then turn noticeably cooler Thursday and Friday behind the low.
