HIGH FIRE DANGER -- Hot temperatures along with dry & breezy conditions will lead to an increased risk for fires. The Wisconsin DNR has placed all of SE Wisconsin under a Very High Fire Danger. Outdoor burning is discouraged this holiday weekend.
Milwaukee made it to 95° on Sunday, which ties the record of 95° for Sept. 3rd, last set in 1939.
Skies will be mainly clear overnight, and lows will only drop into the 70s.
Another hot day is ahead for Labor Day. Highs will climb into the low to mid 90s. Humidity will climb slightly, making it feel a little sticky. Monday's record high in Milwaukee is 92°, last set in 1990, and it looks likely that we will tie or set or new record. Skies will feature lots of sunshine.
Be sure to keep heat safety in mind when making your Labor Day plans. Stay hydrated, take breaks in the A/C, and take good care of pets. Also, check on friends and neighbors who don't have air conditioning.
Tuesday is still warm with highs in the 90s, but conditions may be a little cooler lakeside during the afternoon.
An approaching low-pressure system brings our next chance of rain late Tuesday into Wednesday. A few pop-up showers are possible Tuesday night before the cold front swings through on Wednesday. Depending on the timing, we could be looking at a few stronger storms Wednesday afternoon. Stay tuned!
