Southeast Wisconsin weather: Very hot this weekend
and last updated

After yesterday's rain, our attention now turns toward the weekend heat and humidity. There will still be a small chance for a shower or storm today, but coverage will be limited. Areas of clouds this morning will move out, giving us more afternoon sunshine. Highs close to 80 today.

Still comfortable with our temperatures on Friday. A few models bring a weakening band of showers and storms through the middle of the day. It is a trend we will need to watch; for now, we're still keeping rain chances lower until more models agree. Highs in the lower 80s.

Watch: When heat index values reach over 100 degrees:
