Milwaukee Weather: Morning showers, PM sunny breaks

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

Another round of showers moving through the area Tuesday morning. A couple stronger storms cannot be ruled out, but the overall severe weather threat looks very limited. Behind Tuesday’s cold front, cooler air settles in for the middle of the week with a noticeable drop in temperatures and highs mainly stuck in the 50s and lower 60s Wednesday and Thursday. Rain chances ramp back up Friday into Friday night as another system approaches the Upper Midwest, though there are still some questions on exactly how that system evolves. The good news for anyone looking ahead to Memorial Day week is that warmer air gradually builds back in through the weekend and into early next week, with some inland spots potentially pushing back into the 80s by Monday.
