Heat and Humidity on the way… but you have one last day to enjoy comfortable weather

Today, Saturday, June 15, 2024, will be the last comfortable day to be outside weatherwise through the start of next week with temperatures at a comfortable 76 degrees for a high and low humidity.

After today however the forecasted high temperatures go up to the upper 80s to low 90s for several days with lows at night being an uncomfortable low 70s with high dewpoints. There will also be chances of thunderstorm scattered around the area after today through next weekend.

Forecasted high temperatures look to be as much as 15 to 20 degrees above normal on Monday with the forecasted high of 93 being only 2 degrees below the record high for the day.

The National Weather Service says to drink plenty of water, wear light-colored & loose-fitting clothing, and take frequent breaks in the shade if planning to be outdoors!

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation says the increase in temperatures could cause pavement to buckle. The temperature increase causes slabs of pavement to expand and push against one another, and If the pressure becomes great enough, the pavement can buckle and create unexpected bumps or dips.
