Hot Friday with storms possible this evening

Hot temperatures continue Friday, but dewpoints will be back in the 50s & 60s making it less humid across the area. Highs will be near 80° in Milwaukee and in the upper 80s inland. Clouds will increase late in the day, with a chance for scattered thunderstorms after 5pm. The best chance for thunderstorms will be west of a line stretching from West Bend to Lake Geneva, where there also is a slight risk for severe thunderstorms. The biggest concern will be gusty winds and 1" diameter hail. Thunderstorms fizzle out as we approach 9 p.m., but a few may hold together and push east towards the lakefront by midnight, or just thereafter.
