Current Forecast - WAOW - Newsline 9, Wausau News, Weather, Sports

Saturday: Chance for a few showers or an isolated thunderstorm.   High: 73.  Wind: SE 5-10

We'll need to at least leave in the chance for a shower or thunderstorm on Saturday with afternoon highs near 73 degrees. It would appear that the best opportunity would be for areas north of Wausau and during the morning or afternoon hours.

Sunday looks to be a warm day. Temperatures are expected to reach 80, with a fair amount of sun early. By late evening though, there is the chance for showers or thunderstorms develop. Some thunderstorms if they're able to develop could be on the stronger side of the spectrum.

Next week appears to be fairly wet. Monday through early Wednesday we'll need to leave in the risk for scattered rain and thunder. High temperatures will slowly tick downward with max temps expected to reach 79 on Monday, 72 on Tuesday and 66 on Wednesday.

Conditions look more pleasant by Thursday with highs in the upper 60s with more sunshine.
