ALERT DAY: Even hotter on Tuesday

Key Takeaways

• FIRST ALERT DAY Tuesday: Heat Advisory from noon through 7 pm
• Slight chance for a few pop-up storms late tomorrow
• Warm but less humid the rest of the week

A Heat Advisory will be in effect for all of southern Wisconsin, beginning at noon tomorrow and lasting through 7 pm. That’s as we’re expecting the humidity to really ramp up, causing heat index values to exceed 100° for most if not all of our local cities. High temperatures will be in the mid-90s for many. Be sure that you’re staying hydrated and taking breaks from the heat as often as you can tomorrow. Keep your pets safe too!

A cold front will sweep through the region in the late afternoon tomorrow, and could spark up a few stray thunderstorms. It does look like the best chance for this to happen will be to the south of the state line, but a few could sneak into southern Wisconsin. If a few develop, they could produce some gusty winds.

Tomorrow’s cold front won’t give us the drop in temperatures that many of us might be hoping for, but it will at least bring us back to the mid-80s with much more comfortable humidity levels. Highs will remain in the mid to high 80s through the rest of this week. We’re watching a chance for a few isolated storms both Friday and Saturday, but both days still look to have plenty of dry time.

A second, stronger cold front will sweep through early next week, allowing our temperatures to drop to the low 80s and upper 70s.
