Milwaukee Weather: Frosty Monday but 70s are coming

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

Frost Advisory Until 8am for Waukesha, Jefferson, Walworth, Dodge, Washington, Ozaukee, Sheboygan and Fond du Lac Co.
Another chilly start Monday morning with widespread frost away Lake Michigan. A lake breeze will create a pretty sharp temperature split between the lakeshore and inland areas, with 50s near the lake and near 60 farther west. Tuesday, a fast-moving clipper system brings widespread showers and the chance of a few thunderstorms, especially later in the day across southeast Wisconsin. Severe weather looks isolated at best, but remains possible. After a cooler Wednesday, temperatures rebound nicely Thursday before a more active, unsettled pattern develops heading into the weekend with periodic rain and storm chances.
