Record heat sticks around to start off next week - Blaise

WHAT WE'RE TRACKI NG :

• Record heat returns Monday
• Light rain chance Tuesday into Wednesday
• More rain possible by next Sunday

PLANNING THE NEXT 24 HOURS: High temperatures will once again be back into the upper 70s to the low 80s on Monday thanks to plenty of sunshine and southwesterly winds. In fact, the Madison area may record one of its hottest October 21sts in recorded history; 79°F is the forecast with 84°F being the hottest temperature recorded for that day.

EXTENDED FORECAST: A few, isolated and weak showers may be possible on Tuesday especially further south before a cold front swings through Wisconsin Wednesday morning. Behind it, dry air returns and keeps the rain chances at bay until Sunday. Our temperatures also look to stay well above average through the end of the month into the start of November. If the Madison area records an 80° day AFTER October 29th, it'll be the first time in recorded history.
