Milwaukee Weather: Mostly sunny and much cooler

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

The midweek forecast keeps southern Wisconsin stuck in a cool onshore flow pattern, with highs mainly in the 50s near Lake Michigan and low 60s farther inland.
Dry weather dominates through Thursday, but rain chances ramp back up Friday into Friday night as the next system approaches. The trend has been pushing toward a later arrival time.
The holiday weekend still carries a few scattered shower chances, especially Saturday and Sunday, but there is plenty of dry time mixed in and it does not look like a washout.
Temperatures steadily rebound through the weekend and into next week, with a much warmer pattern likely returning by early June.
