Interactive Radar | Weather Alerts We are drying out and will stay that way for the rest of the week into the weekend. With the dry weather, temperatures will climb and we will see 80s back in the forecast for Saturday and Sunday. The weekend will have morning lows in the 50s and upper 40s and afternoon highs in the mid and low 80s. These above average temperatures will continue into next week as well. Breezy conditions are expected Sunday and starting off next week with 10 to 20 mph winds from the south. Morning lows will be much warmer in the mid 50s to low 60s. Dew points will be in the mid and low 60s at the highest next week. We will feel an increase in humidity, but nothing extreme. Warmer temps and higher dew points will increase the severe weather threat potential for late next week for the Midwest. However, timing and location of any threats is still uncertain for now.
