Here Comes Summer

Summer is about to come roaring back, just in time for the holiday weekend. The temperature hit 80 degrees today for the first time since April 14th, and warm temperatures are expected to continue for the next several days. In fact, the mercury may push 90 degrees by Sunday and Monday, and with dewpoint temperatures in the 60s, it will definitely feel like summer.

We need to get through some stormy weather first, however. Storms have developed out over the eastern Dakotas this afternoon, and these may roll through Wisconsin after midnight tonight. More storms are likely on Wednesday, especially in the afternoon. There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms across southwestern Wisconsin tomorrow, so it could be an interesting day. The good news is that there is no rain in the forecast for the upcoming weekend.

Summer has returned, and I like it.
