Milwaukee Weather: Near 80 Thursday, storms Friday
Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell
MILWAUKEE - A cold front moving through Wisconsin will bring a round of showers and thunderstorms late Thursday night into Friday, with the greatest intensity across western parts of the state. While the severe risk remains on the lower end, a few storms could produce damaging winds, with a brief tornado or hail threat early before storms weaken to the east by midday Friday. Rainfall will be an additional concern, as already saturated ground conditions could lead to localized flooding. Behind the front, high pressure settles in for the weekend, delivering quieter and cooler weather. Attention then turns to early next week, when another system brings a renewed chance for rain and a few rumbles of thunder, followed by lingering low-end precipitation chances into midweek.
