MILWAUKEE (CBS 58)--Better weather ahead for the next few days, especially if you like it drier and cooler. Highs the next few days will be in the mid 70s primarily with lows in the 50s and 60s. It gets warmer into the weekend with highs then in the 80s. Closer to 90 on Sunday and Monday with the chance of rain and storms increasing, especially later Sunday and Monday.

Also, you wonder if any 100 degree temperatures are lurking around the corner for August. Haven't see those numbers this summer either. Stay tuned!
