Milwaukee Weather: AM thunderstorms likely

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

It’s another active stretch across southern Wisconsin with a weakening overnight line of storms still capable of gusty winds early Monday morning. We’ll likely get a break for part of Monday afternoon with some sunshine helping temperatures push close to 80 degrees before another round of storms develops late Monday night into Tuesday. A few of those storms could again become strong to severe, with damaging wind gusts appearing to be the main concern right now. Cooler and much drier air settles in for the middle of the week with a pretty comfortable stretch Wednesday and Thursday featuring highs mostly in the 60s and low 70s. By late week and next weekend, storm chances begin ramping back up as a more complicated weather pattern develops across the Plains and Great Lakes.
