Good morning, Wisconsin. Here's what you need to know today.

Your Weather Planner

A warm and muggy start to the day across Wisconsin with wake up temperatures in the 60s. By this afternoon, most places will climb well into the 80s with even a few low 90s across western parts of the state. After some sunshine to start, clouds will build by midday and this could eventually lead to a handful of showers or storms by afternoon, especially along the lake breeze in southeast Wisconsin. Most locations, however, will stay dry.
