Milwaukee Weather: Mostly sunny and staying dry

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

Southern Wisconsin is settling into a remarkably quiet weather pattern that should hold through at least the middle of next week. Inland areas will enjoy several days of warm temperatures, while regular lake breezes keep conditions noticeably cooler near Lake Michigan. A pair of weak backdoor cold fronts may drift through over the weekend and early next week, but they look moisture-starved and should mainly bring minor temperature changes and shifting winds. Rain chances remain very low, with only a slight opportunity for an isolated shower Monday. The biggest weather story may become increasing fire weather concerns as dry conditions continue across parts of southern Wisconsin.
