Milwaukee Weather: Frosty Monday, late week storms
Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell
MILWAUKEE - A cold start gives way to a warming trend across southern Wisconsin this week. After a frost Monday morning, temperatures climb into well above normal readings by midweek.
A southerly flow drives highs into the 70s Tuesday through Thursday, with well inland areas flirting with 80 while lakeshore communities remain cooler. The pattern stays largely dry through midweek. Attention then shifts to late Thursday into Friday, when a more organized system brings increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms.
While the better severe setup currently favors areas west of Wisconsin, the end-of-week system bears watching before a return to more seasonable conditions next weekend.
