STILL WARM, BUT LESS HUMID INTO SUNDAY

Spotty thunderstorms have ended across the Northwoods. Our skies are clearing out... Except for some wildfire smoke, which is now invading the area. It’s blowing in from the northeast, which may give us some filtered moonlight. You might even smell the smoke if you’re out and about overnight. Otherwise, our temperatures will fall back into the mild 50s after midnight.

An east-northeast breeze will continue on Sunday. Thankfully, it’s bringing down the humidity, despite another warm day. Sunday’s highs will be back into the low to middle 80s, with middle to upper 70s by the lakeshore.

Surface high pressure will give us tons of sunshine, but it will be blurred by the lingering wildfire smoke. This time, we will NOT see any pop-up thunderstorms. Our dry weather will ensure that wildfire danger remains HIGH across the area. It’s probably best to postpone burning of any grass and brush.

On Monday, a cold front will dive southward through Wisconsin. We’ll see passing clouds and scattered showers. Some thunder is possible too. Unfortunately, this will not be overdue widespread rainfall for everyone, and the rest of the work week looks dry... At least cooler, seasonable highs in the 70s will finally return.
