MILWAUKEE (CBS 58)--My best advice to you is don't cancel the weekend plans but just keep an eye to the sky through the weekend and beyond into early next week including Monday. Count on showers and storms, on and off, but not all day.  Look for a High Swim Risk on Saturday as well for most lakeside counties except for Kenosha County.  

I finally see a pattern change by midweek with some drier, cooler air.  Highs then only in the 60s.  This is a touch below normal for this time of year.
