Milwaukee Weather: Early AM showers, overnight storms

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

We are heading into a much warmer and more active stretch of weather across southern Wisconsin. Friday looks breezy and warm, but attention quickly turns to a potential thunderstorm complex Friday night that could bring damaging winds. After the overnight storm potential, Saturday remains warm and fairly comfortable before the atmosphere becomes increasingly humid and stormy late in the weekend. Several rounds of thunderstorms are expected from Saturday night through Tuesday, and while the highest-end severe weather threat may stay west of us, southern Wisconsin could still see strong or severe storms. A cold front finally pushes through Tuesday with cooler weather returning for the middle of next week.
