Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell
MILWAUKEE - After Wednesday's storms, southern Wisconsin gets a quieter stretch with patchy dense fog early this morning followed by just a slight chance for a few afternoon thunderstorms. Friday looks comfortable with below-normal temperatures in the 70s and dry weather for most locations. Storm chances begin creeping back into the forecast Saturday night as a much more active pattern sets up across the Upper Midwest. The big story, long-range, is a surge of heat and humidity arriving Monday that could push heat index values close to 100 degrees through the middle of next week. While scattered thunderstorms may occasionally interrupt the heat, confidence continues to grow that next week will feel much more like midsummer.
