We just have to get through one more scorcher and relief is right around the corner!! Storms moving through Wisconsin this morning will generate clouds and a bit of “outflow” which could help keep temps more reasonable through this morning (80s), but with that heat dome still in place, I expect temps to once again rise into the mid-90s this afternoon. Dew points will one again climb into the mid 70s (it’s all that corn sweat!) which will be the perfect set up for a round or strong thunderstorms this evening/tonight. 

Storms are likely over the next several days as the heat dome breaks down. The timing of storms is highly unpredictable but my best estimation is:

Storms this evening/tonight/early AM tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon/evening/overnight, anytime on Sat and Sun. 

Temps will be cooler over the long weekend: upper 80s tomorrow, low 80s Sat and Sun. But the long-range forecast shows temps generally in the 80s and 90s continuing through at least the next two weeks. While this is fairly “normal” for summer, from my vantage point, it looks slightly warmer than what we expect, climatologically, which would be in line with a warmer-then-average summer. 

Tl;dr - hot again today, t-storms this eve/overnight, cooler Fri-Sun, but stormy!
