Milwaukee Weather: Extreme heat continues, storms late week

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

The dangerous heat isn't going anywhere just yet, with the Extreme Heat Warning continuing through Wednesday across southern Wisconsin. Tuesday looks mainly dry, but the combination of heat and humidity will once again push heat index values into dangerous territory. Thunderstorm chances return Tuesday night and become more common through the end of the week, with several rounds of rain and storms possible from Wednesday night into Saturday. Temperatures later this week will depend on how much cloud cover and rainfall develops, but we stay muggy. By Monday, we may finally see a somewhat drier stretch, although heat and humidity will remain well above average.
