Milwaukee Weather: Frost advisory, warmer weekend

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

Frost Advisory until 8am Friday for all of SE WI.
After another frosty start Friday morning, southern Wisconsin is heading into a much milder stretch with highs warming well into the 60s and even flirting with 70 inland by Saturday. Lakeshore communities will still have to battle cooler lake breeze temperatures Friday, but Saturday looks warm for nearly everyone as stronger west to northwest winds shut down the lake cooling. Quiet weather sticks around through the weekend and into Monday, though patchy frost may try to redevelop Sunday night in the colder inland spots. The next meaningful chance for rain arrives late Monday night into Tuesday.
