*Air Quality Alert from Midnight tonight through Midnight Monday*

High pressure will bring clear skies and light winds to the area tonight. This will lead to areas of fog overnight. It will remain mild, with overnight lows in the lower to middle 30s.

After a clear start (with some patchy fog), we'll see mostly sunny skies and highs in the middle 50s with light south winds.

More clouds roll in Saturday night as a cold front approaches the region. Temperatures stay mild thanks to a southerly flow ahead of the front, with overnight lows in the low-40s. We'll pick up a slight chance for light rain overnight.

Due to an increasingly stagnant air mass over the region, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has issued an Air Quality Alert from Midnight tonight through Midnight Monday. Increasing pollutants may cause breathing difficulties for sensitive groups.

We'll have more clouds on Sunday as the cold front moves in and a chance for light rain. Highs will be around 50F with south winds at 5-15 mph. Cooler air wraps into the region Monday, and our first significant cool-down of the season could be headed our way on Tuesday.

Highs on Monday will be near 50, with highs on Tuesday in the low-40s. With these cooler temperatures, we'll have a chance for a rain/snow mix Tuesday and Wednesday, and either a rain/snow mix or all light snow overnight.

Thanksgiving Day still look dry and seasonable, with highs in the upper 30s to near 40. -- Josh Blumenfeld/Cory Malles
