Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell
MILWAUKEE - Thursday is shaping up to be another active weather day across southern Wisconsin, with the potential for significant severe storms from mid-afternoon into the early evening.
The atmosphere will be primed for all modes of severe weather, including damaging winds, large hail, isolated tornadoes, and a few pockets of flash flooding. Once the cold front pushes through tonight, conditions improve quickly with cooler and drier air arriving by Friday. Friday looks like the pick of the forecast with seasonable temperatures and plenty of dry time. Rain and thunderstorm chances return Saturday before a cooler, somewhat unsettled pattern settles in for much of next week.
