A few showers with a slight chance for a thunderstorm today as a cold front passes through Wisconsin - exiting our area late afternoon and early evening. As that front passes, we can expect the wind to turn to the NE and become stronger briefly. Highs will get to near 80 and fall rapidly behind the front. The strong NE wind will trigger a Beach Hazards Statement for the entire shoreline today. Stay out of Lake Michigan. We stay dry the remainder of the week and start to warm up again with 90s returning by the weekend.
