AN AIR QUALITY ALERT WILL BE IN EFFECT UNTIL 11PM FRIDAY FOR OZUAKEE, MILWAUKEE, RACINE AND KENOSHA COUNTIES. ELEVATED LEVELS OF OZONE ARE EXPECTED TO BRING THE AIR QUALITY DOWN TO THE UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS CATEGORY.
This evening looks great for outdoor plans to fire up the grill or head to a fireworks show. There is only about a 5% chance for a pop-up shower, meaning we are largely dry tonight with mostly clear skies. It will be a warm one, with temperatures staying in the 80s through about 10 pm, and overnight lows will only cool into the low 70s.
Saturday is going to be hot with highs in the low 90s and plenty of humidity. Heat index values will reach the mid-upper 90s. Winds will be breezy with gusts out of the southwest up to 30 mph. Those gusty winds will prevent any lake breeze from developing, so it'll be hot, even by the lake.
After 4 pm Saturday, scattered rain and storms will approach our western counties, continuing to track east through the evening. If you have outdoor plans Saturday night, be sure to keep an eye on the sky. A few storms could produce gusty winds and small hail, along with lighting and pockets of heavy rainfall.

After a brief reprieve from the rain on Monday, pop-up rain showers/storms return to the forecast for the rest of the week.
