Milwaukee Weather: Chance of thunderstorms, severe storm risk
Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell
MILWAUKEE - Southern Wisconsin gets a quick shot of active weather Tuesday as a clipper system spreads morning showers across the state, followed by the chance of a few afternoon thunderstorms as a cold front swings through. Most storms should stay below severe limits, but a couple stronger cells in southeast Wisconsin could kick out gusty winds and small hail if enough instability develops after the morning rain. Behind the front, Wednesday turns much cooler with clouds, breezy northwest winds and temperatures dropping back into the 50s. Some inland spots may even flirt with frost again Wednesday night into Thursday morning. After that cool break, the atmosphere quickly flips back to a more summerlike setup with temperatures surging toward the 80s by the weekend along with increasing humidity and periodic storm chances.
