middle and just spin and spin for a couple of days. that means low pressure that we we see out here in ohio is going to head toward pennsylvania, maybe new jersey and head back again. that means we're going to be dealing with a lot of clouds. maybe some sun and also a couple of showers thrown in for good measure. today it rained in jersey, new york, west of us right now clear skies as you can see. so we're looking for much cooler conditions, yes. high pressure that low pressure kind of zips around eventually by monday begins to move out. but we'll still be stuck with a risk of a shower. probably a shower tomorrow afternoon. probably sunday afternoon, maybe as well on monday. unfortunately. quick a look at the tropics, it's going to pass east of bermuda and weaken eventually. you can see it has an eye. it will become a tropical
