The National Weather Service is warning of the chance of dense fog this morning before the air clears to reveal a sunny day in the North Country.

Highs today are expected to reach into the lower 80s with light winds, forecasters say. Humidity levels will also be slightly lower than recent days

Those clear skies will give way to clouds and a chance of rain overnight and maybe thunderstorms, NWS predicts. Lows are expected in the mid 60s with light winds.

On Friday there is a good chance of showers and maybe some thunderstorms later in the day, with the showers continuing overnight and into Saturday before some clearing Saturday night and Sunday.

Highs Friday and Saturday are expected in the mid 70s and lows Friday and Saturday nights around 60.

Mainly clear skies and seasonable temperatures are expected for the balance of the weekend.
