Milwaukee Weather: Freezing drizzle early, warm-up coming

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

We’re dealing with a pretty low-impact stretch of weather here, but there is a small window overnight into early Thursday where a little freezing drizzle could create some slick spots, mainly north of I-94. The bigger story becomes the warming trend, especially by Saturday when we likely see the mildest air of the entire stretch.
A weak system slides through late Saturday night into Sunday with a few spotty rain or snow showers, mainly north, followed by a brief shot of cooler air.
From there, it’s back to quiet, seasonable weather early next week with only a low-confidence system to watch by Tuesday.
