Milwaukee Weather: Partly sunny and seasonal

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

Enjoy the sunshine and comfortable temperatures Monday because the weather pattern turns much more active starting Tuesday. Showers and thunderstorms become likely Tuesday as a strong storm system moves through Wisconsin. Wednesday and Wednesday night bring widespread rain, thunderstorms, and pockets of heavy rainfall. There may be a severe weather threat Wednesday, depending on how the storm track and instability evolve. Behind the midweek system, temperatures cool off and we'll keep periodic chances for showers and thunderstorms in the forecast through the weekend.
