Milwaukee Weather: Cooler Tuesday, frost by Thursday

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

Cooler air has settled into Wisconsin, and it is sticking around through much of the week. The big story early on is the return of frost potential, especially inland each night through Thursday, which could lead to advisories or warnings. Outside of that, it is a fairly quiet stretch with dry conditions dominating through midweek and only some passing clouds.
By Thursday and Friday, the pattern loosens up a bit with occasional chances of showers and even a stray rumble of thunder. Looking into the weekend and early next week, temperatures slowly rebound while the forecast stays somewhat unsettled with periodic, low-confidence shower chances.
