High pressure has taken control of our weather and is bringing in quiet conditions for today and tomorrow. Both days will bring sunshine and clouds with a very small chance for a passing sprinkle, but most areas stay dry. High pressure is also keeping us away from any humidity for the rest of the work week.

It's a touch cooler to begin today with temps in the low 60s and upper 50s, but as high pressure has moved in, so has dry air which is keeping dew point temperatures cooler in the upper 50s. With both temperatures very close together, patchy fog has been able to develop areas west of Milwaukee, so expect reduced visibility until the fog lifts closer to noon.

While still gloomy around Milwaukee this morning, at least we are getting a break from the rain!

We begin this Friday with quiet and dry conditions that are short-lived as widespread soaking rain is expected for the weekend.

It has certainly been a rainy month! This September already, only 8 days out of 22 completed days have been dry and quiet, and today is the first day now in an entire week since we have completely dry and quiet conditions expected. The rainiest day was back on September 19 with Milwaukee getting to 1.49" and that helped put us about an inch above average for precipitation for the month to date.

High pressure continues to remain in control of our weather and is keeping us quiet with plenty of sunshine for this Wednesday. A westerly wind also continues to remain in control of our weather keeping our high temps for today in the 70s.

RACINE, Wis. (CBS 58) -- There's no shortage of Halloween fun happening across our hometowns this season.
