Milwaukee Weather: Rain and storms by Friday
Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell
MILWAUKEE - A warm and generally quiet pattern remains in place through Thursday, with temperatures running well above seasonal averages and highs nearing 80 inland.
Attention then turns to a passing system late Thursday night into Friday, bringing showers and thunderstorms with limited severe risk but the potential for locally heavy rainfall. Conditions dry out and cool slightly behind the front for the bulk of the weekend under high pressure. Another unsettled stretch develops Sunday night through Tuesday with additional rounds of showers and embedded storms, though the primary concern at this time appears to be rainfall rather than organized severe weather.
