I wish it was a little cooler but I will never really complain about this. I love summer.

That's what FOX6 in Milwaukee says but they're wrong a lot. I would never bet anything on the weather though. I might be joining the global warming craze now, but I certainly could be rethinking that in a few months. But honestly with all the record highs we've been seeing and the temperature trends all going up up up, it's pretty hard to deny at this point. I'm not going all nuts and saying it's man made, but the earth is getting warmer. I'm no scientist though so I can't say any specifics.

Next Saturday, I see 74 for the overnight low. 90's for the high.

Potentially Dangerous Heat Through This 4th Of July Holiday Week

Plan on a heat wave to build into the Upper Mississippi River Valley region for this 4th of July holiday week.

High temperatures from Monday through Friday are forecast in the 90s, with potential for some locations to hit 100 degrees. In addition, the humidity will climb, causing heat indicies to approach or exceed 100 degrees each day. Note that lows will also be warm, mainly in the 70s. It is becoming increasingly likely that heat advisories will be needed, especially from Tuesday through Friday!!

With many venturing out over the holiday period, this prolonged period of heat will have impacts. The threat for heat related illness will increase as the week wears on.
•Campers should be prepared for the dangers of the heat. Stay hydrated with water, have a cool shelter for refuge from the hottest parts of the day, and save strenuous activities for the early and later parts of the day. Be careful with campfires...the area is very dry.
•Young children and the elderly will be especially susceptible to the heat. Make sure they stay cool in air conditioned areas and avoid the hotter parts of the day.
•4th of July festivities: crowds will add to the heat. Stay hydrated with plenty of water.

Planning ahead for the heat now can limit the risk, or prevent, heat related illness.

Be smart and safe this week - enjoy the holiday

love it!

It blows.

It would be really nice if I could walk to my car without sweating.

I went to Summerfest tonight. We parked far away so we wouldn't have to pay $20 which seemed like a good idea at the time....til we had to walk all the way there in that ridiculous heat and humidity. By the time we got to the gate I thought I was gonna vomit and/or pass out.

I got 99 degrees right now.

My phone says its 96. I'm scared to go outside and test that theory.

I think its hotter to the west than it is the closer you get to Lake Michigan.

I hate sitting in the house all day. I wanted to get outside but then again...

I love this weather, I want to go to the beach but there would be 62,000 people there. I really wish I had a pool.

Yeah i figure if i could do summerfest last night i can survive whatever heat today.

I don't really mind the heat...but I'm not going for a bike ride.

I notice you're inside too :p

It had to be a little cooler by the lake.

You just weren't drunk enough.

101 here.
