 Here's the current surface chart.

It shows the 1st cold front has moved east and is sitting off the coast. With a second cold front and weak shortwave trough dropping south and east out of Canada. Radar Shows a few isolated showers across the region, due to the dry air mass over the region, these widely isolated showers will continue for today. This will be especially true downwind of the Great Lakes which will see lake effect rain showers streaming off Lake Erie and Lake Ontario as the colder air moves over the lakes. Temperatures are cool for this time in August and are generally running below average.

Tonight is going to be very cool with a chance for isolated rain showers. Wednesday will be another quite cool and unsettled day with a chance for isolated rain showers and lake effect rain showers continuing downwind of the Great Lakes as the second weak cold front pushes through the region.The surface chart also shows that high pressure that will be moving in over the region on Thursday, providing plenty of sun and mostly dry conditions. Thursday into Friday we will see temperatures climb slightly ahead of an approaching cold front. That stronger cold front will move through on Friday. The front will bring scattered showers and a chance for some isolated thunderstorms. High pressure will move in overhead for Saturday, Sunday and Labor Day Monday. Temperatures will remain cool But it should be  dry all three days, But I can't rule out a chance over the the holiday weekend of a rogue shower to popping up. The high pressure will start pushing away on Tuesday reintroducing the chance for some rain showers across the region. These general Fall like cool conditions look to continue for next week.
