Cooler, breezier weather projected in Milwaukee following July 4 weekend

A cold front is moving through Milwaukee, brining lower temperatures and chances of rain following the hot and sunny Fourth of July weekend. July 6, Sunday, is projected to reach the high 70s with potential thunderstorms. "Tonight, we're going to actually have a night that's typical of summer; it's going to be low 60s by the lake, and upper 50s well inland," said Mark Gehring, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, on Sunday morning. Gehring said a low pressure area in southeast Wisconsin, followed by wind from the north, will bring cooler air and lower dew points and humidity into the Milwaukee area. The NWS separately issued a hazardous beach condition warning for Milwaukee, Kenosha and Racine counties on July 6, advising against swimming due to projections of dangerously high waves. For Monday, July 7, the NWS forecasts the cooler pattern of air will continue with highs in the upper 70s. "That's a nice, refreshing change," Gehring said. Tuesday's temperatures will climb a bit: they are projected to reach the lower 80s, with a chance of thunderstorms. "It'll be warm and humid, but not like it has been," he said.

Wisconsin statewide K-12 art showcase 2025: See dozens of submissions

This school year, Wisconsin K-12 students created artwork using stained glass, soapstone, recycled cardboard and liquid sterling silver. One student drew a peacock using oil pastel; another modeled an alien using clay. Those were among the submissions to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Spring 2025 Statewide Student Art Showcase. All artwork was submitted by teachers and created by students in kindergarten through 12th grade in the 2024-25 school year. Here are some of the submissions that stood out — plus, a gallery of the more than four dozen pieces submitted. The 2023 student art showcase drew more than 400 pieces of art submitted by teachers statewide. Take a look.
