Added: 2026-05-21

[00:00:01]>> LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

[00:00:03]WEATHERWATCH 12.

[00:00:03]NOW, TOMORROW WILL ALMOST BE 25 DEGREES COOLER THAN TODAY, THOUGH.

[00:00:07]>> NOT NECESSARILY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.

[00:00:10]LAKE MICHIGAN IS STILL REALLY COLD.

[00:00:12]>> YEAH, I WOULDN’T RECOMMEND JUMPING IN LAKE MICHIGAN ANY TIME SOON.

[00:00:15]IT’S STILL IN THE 40S.

[00:00:17]IT TAKES A VERY LONG TIME TO WARM UP THAT GIANT BODY OF WATER.

[00:00:20]ALL RIGHT.

[00:00:21]TODAY’S HIGH WAS VERY PLEASANT, 79.

[00:00:23]I WAS STILL STICKY.

[00:00:24]MANY OF YOU MAY HAVE TURNED THE AIR ON.

[00:00:26]YOU CAN TURN IT OFF TONIGHT.

[00:00:28]YOU’RE NOT GOING TO NEED IT.

[00:00:30]OPEN THE WINDOWS UP HIGH TOMORROW.

[00:00:31]JUST 55.

[00:00:32]SO WE MIGHT GO FROM AIR CONDITIONING TO HEAT KICKING BACK ON.

[00:00:36]YOU GOT TO LOVE WISCONSIN.

[00:00:37]ESPECIALLY GOT TO LOVE WISCONSIN.

[00:00:39]IF YOU LIVE NEAR ONE OF THE GREAT LAKES.

[00:00:40]AND THAT’S WHAT WE DO.

[00:00:41]ALL RIGHT.

[00:00:42]47 IS THE LAKE TEMPERATURE.

[00:00:43]YEAH.

[00:00:44]IT DOES TAKE A LONG TIME TO WARM THAT UP.

[00:00:48]SO HANGING OUT IN THE 60S ACROSS THE BOARD NOW.

[00:00:51]KENOSHA YOU’RE STILL AT 71 FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MINUTE OR TWO.

[00:00:53]YOU’LL BE BACK DOWN TO THE 60S.

[00:00:55]ALL RIGHT.

[00:00:57]THE 270 MILE PER HOUR PLUS WIND SPEED THAT WAS RECORDED IN JANESVILLE, WHICH WAS CLEARLY AN ERROR.

[00:01:03]THAT’S AT LEAST THAT’S WHAT WE HAD IN THE 4:00 SHOW.

[00:01:07]WINDS ARE GUSTING ANYWHERE OUT OF THE WEST AT ABOUT 15 TO 20 TO 25MPH.

[00:01:12]WINDS WILL KIND OF STAY A LITTLE BLUSTERY INTO TOMORROW, BUT NOT TOO BAD.

[00:01:16]WINDS OUT OF THE NORTHEAST.

[00:01:17]AND THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

[00:01:20]55 NEAR THE LAKE TOMORROW, 62 INLAND, 55 NEAR THE LAKE ON THURSDAY, 62 INLAND, 60 NEAR THE LAKE ON FRIDAY, 66 INLAND.

[00:01:28]SO YEAH, MUCH COOLER THAN WE’VE SEEN OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS.

[00:01:32]SO WE’LL GRADUALLY GET WARMER.

[00:01:34]SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS ON FRIDAY.

[00:01:36]IT’S KIND OF OUR ONLY CHANCE OF RAIN IN THIS FORECAST.

[00:01:39]AND IT’S BEEN A VERY DRY DAY AFTER WE HAD A VERY VERY VERY WET APRIL.

[00:01:43]ALL RIGHT.

[00:01:44]HERE COMES THE 70S AGAIN.

[00:01:46]AND THIS WILL COINCIDE WITH THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.

[00:01:50]DOESN’T LOOK BAD AT ALL.

[00:01:51]YESTERDAY HAD A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON MONDAY.

[00:01:54]I THINK THAT’S LOOKING LESS LIKELY.

[00:01:56]AND IT IS GOING TO BE WARMING UP.

[00:01:59]67 SATURDAY 70 ON SUNDAY, 77 DEGREES ON MONDAY.

[00:02:02]ALL IN ALL, I’D SAY THAT’S PRETTY GOOD.

[00:02:05]WE’VE HAD MUCH WORSE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKENDS AROUND HERE.

[00:02:07]A LOT OF CLOUD COVER ROLLING THROUGH.

[00:02:10]THERE’S STILL A FEW BREAKS HERE AND THERE, AND THERE’LL BE MORE BREAKS AS WE HEAD INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS FROM THE TOP OF THE BANK.

[00:02:17]FIVE NINE BUILDING IN OCONOMOWOC 64 DEGREES.

[00:02:19]RIGHT NOW, THOSE TEMPERATURES COOLING DOWN.

[00:02:21]IT’S JACKET WEATHER AGAIN.

[00:02:22]YOU SEE SOME FOLKS OUT THERE WALKING THE DOG AT DREXEL TOWN SQUARE, 67 POLLEN.

[00:02:27]NOT ANY FUN.

[00:02:28]TREES ARE HIGH, GRASS IS MODERATE AND WEEDS ARE LOW.

[00:02:32]TREE POLLEN WILL START TO GET BETTER.

[00:02:34]WE NEED THE TREES TO COMPLETELY LEAF OUT.

[00:02:37]CHILLY NORTHEASTERLY WIND FOR TOMORROW.

[00:02:39]THAT BRINGS OUR HIGH TO 55.

[00:02:41]AND WE HAVE THAT AGAIN AS WE WORK OUR WAY INTO THURSDAY, 55.

[00:02:44]THEN UP TO 60 ON FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

[00:02:47]NOT BAD AT ALL.

[00:02:49]WARMING TO 70 ON SUNDAY.

[00:02:51]MEMORIAL DAY 77 DEGREES AND THEN HANGING ON THAT 77 AS WE WORK OUR WAY INTO TUESDAY AS WELL.

[00:02:56]SO YES, IT COOLS DOWN B
