Milwaukee heads into Saturday with highs in the upper 70s near Lake Michigan and lower 80s inland.

The National Weather Service says northeast winds will run 5 to 10 mph. Lower visibility may linger, so drivers should allow extra time during the morning commute.

Clearer, Cooler Nights Lead Into Labor Day

Sunday looks mostly sunny and comfortable, with a high near 74 and east winds of 5 to 10 mph.

Labor Day, Monday, September 7, should bring another mostly sunny day with a high near 76. High pressure should keep the area dry Sunday through Monday.

Heat And Storm Chances Return Tuesday

The quiet holiday stretch gives way to warmer weather Tuesday, when temperatures are expected to reach about 84 degrees under partly sunny skies. Humidity will persist, and storm chances will increase Tuesday. Humidity will remain a factor next week.

Wednesday will bring continued shower and storm chances, with high pressure building across the region toward the end of the week.
