Dry for Saturday, tracking rain and thunderstorms on Sunday

The Latest From Storm Team 5…

We received good news in terms of the wildfire smoke, we no longer have an Air Quality Alerts in northeast Wisconsin as the latest one expired at noon Friday. However, this weekend, the WI DNR is saying we will have some elevated levels of smoke around and some surface ozone, but conditions are looking better then days past.

Tonight, an early shower is possible, but most see mostly cloudy skies with temperatures in the low to mid 50s.

Saturday will be the best day of the weekend. Expecting a mixture of sun and clouds, high temperatures will work back into the middle 70s. We were watching the chance of a pop up shower, but the main thinking is that will stay out in central and western WI. At worst, a brief shower may brush up against our western counties.

Sunday will start dry, but a cold front cutting across the state will bring with it a line of rain and thunderstorms, beginning in the late morning and ending by the late afternoon. Then we will watch for a few more isolated thunderstorms to pop up during the evening. Severe weather is not expected. Highs will sit in the low 70s.

The upper level low from this system will rotate in on Monday, likely bringing more scattered showers and storms on Monday. Adding an early rain chance Tuesday, but expecting a run of dry weather as temperatures warm up mid week. Watch for the return of more smoke early next week.
