Milwaukee Weather: Sunny and mild, rain next week

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

A broad southwest flow aloft will remain established across the Upper Midwest through midweek, maintaining a mild air mass over Wisconsin with highs running 5 to 15+ degrees above normal.
Weak disturbances brushing the U.S.–Canada border this weekend into Monday may drag a couple of weak fronts through, but limited moisture should keep conditions dry.
Monday looks to be the warmest day, with widespread 50s possible under a steady southwest wind, while lakeshore areas may stay cooler on southeast flow.
A more organized system ejecting from the Plains Tuesday will bring widespread rain chances Tuesday night into Wednesday, with enough elevated instability for a few rumbles of thunder.
