Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell
MILWAUKEE - Southern Wisconsin is heading into an active stretch of weather with showers and thunderstorms developing Tuesday afternoon, followed by a more widespread rain event Wednesday and Wednesday night. Tuesday's storms should remain below severe limits, though small hail is possible with unusually cool air aloft. Wednesday bears watching as heavy rainfall looks likely, and severe weather is possible if a warm front pushes farther north. Once the midweek system exits, Thursday and Friday trend cooler but mostly dry with only isolated shower chances. Looking ahead, temperatures gradually rebound into the weekend before the next notable chance of thunderstorms arrives Sunday.
