In this episode of The Isobar, meteorologist Stephanie Barichello (in for Rob Haswell) is joined by Chicago’s JD Rudd (in for Emily Wahls) and Detroit’s Chief Meteorologist Rich Luterman to break down a month of wild weather extremes.

Finally, the crew shares their ultimate Midwest summer bucket lists—swapping tips on Milwaukee's endless festival season, Chicago's bustling beaches, and Michigan's breathtaking Sleeping Bear Dunes and historic lighthouses.
