Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

MILWAUKEE - The cold front that brought Monday's storms has pushed out, and anything leftover is fading quickly as the atmosphere stabilizes. In its wake, a cooler pattern takes over with temperatures running below average through much of the week. Lake Michigan will play a big role, especially midweek, keeping lakeshore communities noticeably cooler while inland areas sneak out a few more degrees. We will deal with occasional, hit-or-miss shower chances, but nothing that looks widespread or particularly impactful. The bigger story may turn into chilly nights late week with frost potential before a rebound into more comfortable 60s by the second half of the weekend.
