Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

MILWAUKEE - Patchy frost is possible early Thursday in the colder valleys and rural spots, but overall, Thursday rebounds nicely with sunshine and highs back into the 70s. Rain chances Thursday night into Friday morning continue to look fairly spotty and light, so this still does not appear to be a meaningful soaking rain event for most of the area. By the weekend, warmth and humidity surge back north with several opportunities for thunderstorms from Saturday through Monday, though exact timing will depend on how earlier storm systems evolve. Monday is shaping up as the day to watch closest for stronger storms and summer-like warmth if the warm front can push deep enough into Wisconsin. Stay tuned for updates as we get closer.
