More clouds than sunshine with scattered showers through the weekend. Cool again today but warmer tomorrow.
The first day of meteorological summer will feel like it’s still spring, with temperatures only slightly warmer compared to the 50s we had yesterday. Highs may just barely break the 60-degree mark today, but thankfully warm air moves in again this weekend, so we should be near normal again with 70s by tomorrow. A storm system stalling in the Ohio Valley may keep clouds and scattered showers lingering around eastern Wisconsin through the weekend and into early next week.
