Unusually Cool Sunday in Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay

July 28,2013; 3:42PM,EDT

 

 

Unseasonably cool temperatures will grip the Great Lakes once again on Sunday with forecast highs more representative of autumn than late July.
AccuWeather.com meteorologists are forecasting high temperatures to only reach the 60s once again Sunday with some locations in northern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan not getting out of the 50s.
On Saturday, several cities busted their records for the coolest high temperature on that date.

City, State	Saturday's High	Old Record, Year
Chicago, Ill.	65 degrees	69, 1981
Minneapolis, Minn.	64 degrees	65, 1991
Eau Claire, Wis.	60 degrees	65, 1981
Rochester, Minn.	61 degrees	64, 1981
Green Bay, Wis.	62 degrees	67, 1915, 1925 and 1928

In fact, it was warmer across interior Alaska on Saturday than it was in the Great Lakes. Fairbanks rose to 81 degrees, which for them is 10 degrees above normal.
The reason for this bout of unseasonably cool weather is an area of low pressure spinning over the region.

It is helping to draw down cooler air from Canada and is also aiding the production of clouds and showers.
In addition, it will be rough going for those looking to get out on the water on Sunday. Dangerous currents will make swimming quite hazardous on the Great Lakes.

The risk is small for waterspouts, but one or two are possible. Boaters may find waters a bit choppy.
Saturday afternoon, New Buffalo Police Chief Larry Pitchford confirmed to AccuWeather.com that a 15-year-old young male got caught in a public beach at New Buffalo, Mich., along the shores of Lake Michigan. He was pulled from the water and eventually airlifted to Chicago.
The young male was pronounced dead that evening.

Low pressure will exit the region on Monday and allow for sunshine and warmer temperatures. It will be quite comfortable on Monday and Tuesday with highs in the 70s to low 80s.
