Gary Cannalte

Gary Cannalte is a Meteorologist at WISC-TV.

The weather will remain quiet tonight and Wednesday with high pressure building across the region. Skies tonight will be mostly clear with cool temperatures falling into the upper 40s. Wednesday will be mostly sunny with highs in the middle 70s. Skies will become partly sunny on Thursday with warmer temperatures in the lower 80s. 

Summer weather arrives this weekend. A warm front will move through the area on Friday, increasing the humidity as well as the temperatures. There will be showers and thunderstorms Friday as the front heads north through the area. Over the weekend, the warm front should be to our north, keeping the highest chances for rain in central and northern Wisconsin, although it will be close enough to keep a chance for thunderstorms in our forecast. Highs in the middle 80s on Friday will climb to the upper 80s to near 90 over the weekend. Heat index values will be as high as the middle 90s. Low temperatures will be near 70 in the muggy air.
