Air quality alert in effect for SE WI until 6 p.m. The smoke is expected to follow a warm front and push out of here with SW winds. The warm front has been triggering pop-up storms. These are below severe limits and will just pulse up, downpour, and move on.
The weekend features a cold front Saturday that will trigger a few more pop-ups mid-morning. Sadly, this also brings the return of wildfire smoke to SE WI. The conditions will continue to worsen overnight, with air quality taking a dive.
WATCH: When smoke moves out
Sunday looks to be potentially worse than Thursday in terms of air quality as a large plume of the smoke settles in over the state. Stay tuned for updates on how this progresses over the weekend.
Next week starts with 90s and storms on Monday, then gradually cools to 80s and 70s the rest of the week — ditching humidity.
Smoke potential is still there and will need to be monitored.
