Southerly winds have finally cleared most of the wildfire smoke out of Wisconsin.
Despite a clear sky, overnight lows have only fallen into the 60s and 70s. The southerly winds have also ushered in a warmer and more humid air mass.
The steady increase in temperatures continues today, with highs reaching the mid- to upper 80s. Dew points will climb into the 60s. Given the extra heat and humidity, pop-up showers and storms are possible this afternoon. Some of this activity may linger into the overnight hours.
Watch: Hit-and-miss storms return
Another warm and humid day is on tap for Friday, with highs nearing 90 degrees. Another chance for pop-up storms is in the forecast.
The heat and humidity reach a peak on Saturday, when highs climb well into the 90s area-wide. Heat index values will reach the upper 90s to lower 100s.
Scattered showers and storms return Sunday and into the beginning of next week as highs return to the mid-80s.
