Milwaukee Weather: Split weekend forecast, dangerously hot next week
Forecast from FOX6 Meteorologist Stephanie Barichello
MILWAUKEE - Patchy fog near the lake tonight with lows in the mid 50s, then sunshine returns on Saturday. Temperatures reach into the low 70s lakeside, upper 70s inland.
There is a chance of showers and storms Sunday evening, otherwise partly sunny and warmer with most in the 80s.
The big story is a prolonged stretch of dangerous heat and humidity beginning Monday and lasting through at least Thursday, with highs climbing into the lower to middle 90s and warm, muggy nights providing little relief. Heat Advisories will likely be needed as heat index values climb into potentially dangerous levels.
