Milwaukee Weather: Hot and feeling even hotter

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

A Heat Advisory is in effect from 12pm Tuesday to 8pm Wednesday for potential heat index values in the 100s. The hottest stretch of the summer continues through Wednesday. Even overnight temperatures will stay unusually warm, offering little relief for anyone without air conditioning. Sunshine and dry weather stick around through Thursday before the atmosphere starts showing signs of becoming more active late in the week. Looking ahead, early next week could bring a stronger storm system along with a welcome break from the heat, making it a period worth watching.
