Another one of those 50/50 weather splits during a very busy weekend
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58)--Saturday, no problem. Sunday, could be a different story weatherwise. Looks like we could have scattered showers and storms, especially during the second part of the day. Won't be all day though. I know so much is happening this weekend, including the Air & Water Show in Milwaukee and German Fest. I wouldn't cancel the plans. Just keep an eye to the sky and be ready to head for cover. The storm chances continue into early Tuesday and then again later in the week, including Thursday and Friday as the State Fair gets underway. Hopefully next weekend will be drier. Look for lots of 80s this coming week with lows in the 60s and 70s. Humidity will be higher as well with the milder temps. Typical summertime weather.
