Wildfire smoke brings air quality alert to Wisconsin

Southeast Wisconsin is seeing the last of the rain exit early Saturday morning, making way for a mix of sunshine and clouds ahead of an approaching cold front. Temperatures will climb into the lower and mid 80s today.

As the front approaches this afternoon, spotty showers and thunderstorms may develop over the area. While widespread severe weather is not expected, isolated pockets of heavy rain and gusty winds are possible.

Rain chances will end at 10 p.m. once the front clears Wisconsin. Overnight lows will drop into the 60s.

Canadian wildfire smoke is moving in behind the cold front, prompting an Air Quality Alert for all of Wisconsin and Minnesota. Air quality could reach the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (Orange) category in Southeast Wisconsin, while Unhealthy or Very Unhealthy air quality is forecast for northern Wisconsin.

The smoky haze will continue into Monday. Looking ahead to next week, more warmth and humidity are expected with rain chances increasing Tuesday into Wednesday.
