Heat and smoke return for the weekend

 

Thursday was a very comfy day and Friday will be more of the same with low humidity and highs in the 70s. It's going to feel really nice and you should enjoy because heat will return for the next week! High temperatures on Saturday warm into the middle 80s with a chance at 90 on Sunday and then staying in the 80s most of next week.

In addition to the heat increasing, humidity levels will increase as well. After a pleasant day Friday, dew points start to increase Saturday with noticeable humidity arriving by Saturday afternoon. Sunday looks very humid with dew points reaching tropical status around 70. You add all that humidity to a high around 90 then it's going to feel like the low to middle 90s.

The weekend forecast also looks all dry with good sunshine both Saturday and Sunday. But it could feature some haze.

Wildfire smoke started rolling into the Upper Midwest Friday but will really return to Wisconsin on Friday. The smoke should go away a bit on Saturday and then possibly returns on Sunday. Air quality alerts go until Monday morning.
