****EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING FROM 10AM TO 9PM WEDNESDAY FOR ALL OF SE WISCONSIN*******
****EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH THROUGH THURSDAY FOR MILWAUKEE, RACINE, KENOSHA, WAUKESHA, WALWORTH, JEFFERSON, AND DODGE COUNTIES*****
Tonight will be mild with lows only falling into the 70s, it will be muggy as well.
Confidence is high that Wednesday will be the hottest day of summer. The forecast high for Milwaukee Wednesday is 100°. That would break the daily high temperature record of 98°, last set in 1947. And it won't just be hot, it will be very humid, making it feel that much hotter. Humidity will make it feel like temperatures are between 105-115 through much of the day! There will be a bit of a breeze, with gusts up to 25 mph.
This is dangerously hot, especially for those who do not have air conditioning. Everyone should limit their time and activity outdoors Wednesday afternoon, and find a place to stay cool in the A/C.
Thursday will still be hot, but a few areas will be little more comfortable. North of Milwaukee, it looks like winds will turn off the lake, helping to keep temperatures in the 80s. However, the rest of the area looks to see highs in the 90s, with heat index values up to 105°.
Friday we start to cool off, and by the weekend highs will be back in the mid 70s.
