Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell
MILWAUKEE - Summer is making a strong push into southern Wisconsin with highs climbing into the upper 80s today under breezy south-west winds. Thursday stays dry but increasing humidity will set the stage for multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms from late Thursday night through Saturday. Friday bears watching closely, as some storms could become strong to severe.
A cold front slides through late Friday night into Saturday, but it won't bring much cooling as highs remain in the 80s this weekend. Looking ahead, an increasingly humid pattern develops with periodic thunderstorm chances through midweek and temperatures that may flirt with 90 degrees by Wednesday.
