It's going to be a hot weekend in the Appleton area. Here's how hot
After a chance of rain and thunderstorms the night of Thursday, June 19 and throughout the day Friday, June 20, it's going to be a hot weekend in the Appleton area. High temperatures are expected in the mid-90s Saturday, June 21 and Sunday, June 22, and in the low-90s Monday, June 23, according to the National Weather Service in Green Bay. The heat index — what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature — will be between 95 and 105 degrees June 21 and June 22, the NWS said. "Further complicating things are the overnight temperatures, which are unlikely to drop out of the 70s overnight Saturday or Sunday," the NWS said, "which makes for no relief from the heat overnight and may pose a concern for those planning to sleep outdoors such as in tents." The heat will stick around through June 23, along with a 50% chance of rain, before cooling off into the upper 70s June 24. There's a chance of an isolated severe storm through 10 p.m. June 19 and thunderstorms will be possible at times June 20 through the next morning. There's a 50 percent chance of rain, mainly before 1 p.m., with a high temperature near 80. "The greatest risk of strong or severe storms will be overnight Friday night into Saturday morning as a thunderstorm complex is expected move across the area," the NWS said.

Multi-vehicle crash on State 441 causes major traffic backup, snarls traffic for two hours
(This story was updated to include new information.) A multi-vehicle crash snarled the morning commute for about two hours May 9 on State 441's northbound lanes. The crash occurred around 7:30 a.m. in Little Chute, just south of the Northland Avenue exit, according to Wisconsin State Patrol. Both lanes were initially closed, but were reopened by 9:30 a.m. Three days prior, on May 6, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation put out a notice warning drivers that, due to road construction on the overpasses over Interstate 41, detoured traffic would result in backups during peak travel hours this summer. State 441's northbound Northland Avenue exit was one of the areas they said would be affected. The other area expected to experience backups is the southbound I-41 exit for Richmond Street in Appleton. Peak driving hours are 7 to 8:30 a.m., and 4 to 6 p.m., according to WisDOT.
