Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

MILWAUKEE - We’re locked into a very active spring pattern, with multiple waves of rain and thunderstorms rolling through southern Wisconsin and plenty of moving parts in the forecast.
The first round Tuesday carries some severe potential, but how much instability we can recover after morning activity will determine just how strong storms get.
Behind that, a sharp push of cooler air sets the stage for a complicated midweek system, where rain may transition to a wintry mix north of I-94 with potential travel impacts Wednesday into early Thursday.
There’s also a growing signal for locally heavy rainfall, which could shift depending on the track of the system. Looking ahead, the pattern stays unsettled into the weekend.

Today:    Rain and thunderstorms likely. Marginal risk of severe storms.
High:     60°
Wind:     SW/NE 5-15
