Milwaukee Weather: Sunny and warm, more storms Saturday

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

After Thursday's severe weather, southern Wisconsin gets a much-needed break with quiet and dry conditions through Saturday morning. Friday looks like the pick of the forecast with sunshine, lower humidity, and comfortable temperatures. Attention then turns to Saturday afternoon and evening when a cold front could trigger thunderstorms, some of which may become strong to severe with damaging winds and large hail. Cooler air filters in behind the front for Sunday and Monday, keeping temperatures a bit below mid-June averages. Looking farther ahead, rain chances return Tuesday, and a potentially more significant storm system could impact the Great Lakes region Wednesday into Wednesday night with severe weather and heavy rain potential.
