Canadian wildfire smoke has returned over Wisconsin, which will make skies hazy tonight into Monday. Some of this smoke will mix down closer to the surface. An Air Quality Alert is in effect for all of SE WI until Tuesday at Noon, as air quality is expected to fall into the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups category.
Low temperatures overnight will be in the upper 60s near the lake, and low 60s inland.
Heat and humidity will be the main weather issues this week. Monday will be the coolest day of the week with highs in the mid 80s. Each day, through Thursday, temperatures will increase slightly, along with humidity. Wednesday and Thursday look to be the warmest days with highs across the area in the 90s, and heat index values of 95-100°.
Keep these heat safety tips in mind this week:
-Stay hydrated
-Limit time in direct sun
-Wear light color, loose fit clothing
-Check in on friends, family, or neighbors who don't have air conditioning
-Help pets stay cool
-Don't leave pets or children in the car
In addition to the heat, each day will feature a slight chance for a pop-up shower/storm given the prevailing weather pattern.
It looks like we will start to see temperatures cooling off by next weekend.
