Muggy with occasional rumbles

This weekend will feature tropical humidity levels, with dew points in the 70s.  Highs in the 80s will give us heat index values in the 90s over much of Minnesota and Wisconsin.

A few scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible Friday night and Saturday. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to become more numerous Saturday night into Sunday and Sunday night, but there will be some dry times between the rain events.

Here are the projected high temperatures for your Saturday:
