This is the third weekend in a row with gorgeous weather! And even though we are getting later into the fall season, it is the warmest weekend since the beginning of September! Highs on Saturday reached the 80s with most of southeast Wisconsin topping out at 80, 81 or 82. Only Racine fell short at 75.

The weather was absolutely stunning over the weekend with highs well above average both Saturday and Sunday. Both days were nice and dry and fairly sunny as well. Saturday saw us get back into the 80s for the first time since September 12th and the high was only three degrees away from the record. Sunday was a touch cooler in the 70s with a lake breeze but still a gorgeous day.

We had record smashing heat on Monday. Widespread highs in the 80s throughout southeast Wisconsin with some areas trying to make a run at 90 degrees!

The morning commute for Thursday is fairly dry but as we approach the mid-morning hours, scattered showers will arrive. Then the rain turns steady by the midday hours with some periods of moderate to heavy steady rain possible for most of the afternoon and evening. We may get a few dry hours Thursday night before scattered light showers continue throughout the rest of Friday.

Thursday was a wet and dreary day across southeast Wisconsin. Many areas saw a long stretch of steady rain during the late morning through the afternoon. The showers continued through Thursday evening into early Friday morning. Rain totals through Friday morning ranged from a half inch in southern counties to 1.50" in our northern counties.

We are in the last ten days of October. It's a time of year when we typically really cool down and could even see the snowflakes start to fly. This year we are seeing none of that! Temperatures are expected to be very mild for the next five days with highs on Wednesday near 70 before slightly cooler in the 60s Thursday and Friday and more 70s rolling in for the weekend.

October in Milwaukee and southeast Wisconsin has been pretty mild so far. The average temperature through the 21st is 59 degrees which is the 13th warmest start to the month on record.

Dense fog has returned. We've seen fog almost every morning this week, but it's back in a big way to start Friday. The fog is thickest in lakeside and inland counties but gets better the farther west you go with our western counties seeing closer to 1-3 miles of visibility and Madison not seeing the fog at all.

We had another stupendous weekend of weather this past Saturday and Sunday. We've had a lot of really nice weekends lately. Saturday started chilly in the 40s but then we warmed into the upper 60s. Sunday was even hotter with a high of 74 coming close to the record of 76! Both days stayed dry with a partly cloudy sky.

The Milwaukee Brewers are one win away from a World Series Championship and have the opportunity to sweep the Tampa Bay Rays Tuesday evening. If you are heading to the watch party at American Family Field, the temps should be nice in the upper 50s. The roof will be closed with the cool temps and a chance for some sprinkles.
