Milwaukee Weather: Cooler Wednesday, 50s Friday

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

Brisk northwest winds and a few early flurries give way to clearing skies and colder air midweek, with lows dropping into the teens Wednesday night.
Thursday stays quiet for most of southern Wisconsin, though a weak disturbance could bring spotty flurries mainly north of Madison toward West Bend.
Friday turns sharply milder and breezy, with highs climbing into the 50s ahead of a cold front.
