We get a break from the heat today behind yesterday's cold front. Highs will be in the low 80s inland and in the 70s lakeside with a NE-E wind all day. There is a chance for showers later today as a second cold front passes through. Highs will fall into the low 70s this weekend behind that front but with high pressure returning, we get the sun back. Our next chance of showers and thunderstorms arrives Monday and into Tuesday. Temperatures remain on the cooler side into the middle of next week.

Excessive Heat Warning for Milwaukee, Waukesha, Washington, Dodge, Jefferson, Walworth, Racine & Kenosha until 7pm Today We remain on the hot side of a frontal boundary to our north today and temperatures will once again surge into the 90s. The far northeast counties of Sheboygan and Ozaukee will be slightly cooler. A low and its cold front will drop through our area later today and tonight. As that passes, the wind shifts to the NE and temperatures will fall quickly in the later afternoon and evening.
