Milwaukee Weather: Sunny but cold Tuesday, wintry mix Wednesday

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

A transition period is underway across southern Wisconsin, beginning with a cold Tuesday morning and light wintry mix Tuesday night.
Temperatures rebound quickly Wednesday as southerly flow strengthens, pushing highs into the 60s ahead of a cold front. That front will bring a widespread rainfall Wednesday night, followed by a brief lull in activity late week.
Additional showers and a few storms return Thursday night before high pressure delivers quieter conditions later Friday into early Saturday.
The pattern then turns more active and notably warmer, with a strong system likely bringing springlike warmth and renewed thunderstorm chances Sunday into Monday.
