Increased fire danger and potential record highs in the new week

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAW) – The last weekend of October will see some seasonally cool conditions in north-central Wisconsin. Some clouds will move over the area on Saturday evening, but it will remain dry. Quite a bit of sun on Sunday, fresh wind and slightly warmer. Temperatures will rise during the early working week as high pressure shifts into eastern Wisconsin. Record highs could be challenged in some locations on Monday and Tuesday. The next weather maker is a cold front that should gradually move through the region Wednesday through Thursday. Halloween will be noticeably cooler, but will remain dry into the early evening for trick-or-treating times. Temperatures will moderate heading into the start of next weekend.
