Milwaukee Weather: Extreme Heat Warning in place

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

Extreme Heat Warning for ALL OF SE WI from Noon Monday until 7pm Tuesday (and will likely be extended).
The big story this week is the dangerous heat, as heat index values climb into the 100 to 110 degree range. The hot and humid pattern is expected to stick around through much of the week with additional heat headlines likely. Thunderstorm and rain chances increase later in the week as a series of disturbances begins to chip away at the ridge. If you're headed to Lake Michigan on Monday, be aware of dangerous swimming conditions, especially along Ozaukee and Sheboygan County beaches.
