MILWAUKEE - Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell
Southern Wisconsin is drying out as the weekend storm system pulls away, setting up a much quieter start to the week. Monday looks comfortable with sunshine returning, though lakeshore communities will stay noticeably cooler. Beach conditions may become dangerous due to high waves and rip currents. Attention then turns to Tuesday night through Wednesday night when the next round of showers and thunderstorms moves in. While severe weather is far from a certainty, there is enough wind shear and instability in some forecast guidance to keep an eye on the potential for a few stronger storms Wednesday. After that system departs, temperatures stay below average with mainly quiet weather into the weekend before rain chances begin to increase again late Sunday.
