Milwaukee Weather: More thunderstorms, not as hot

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

Southern Wisconsin isn't done with the stormy pattern just yet, but Friday's forecast hinges on what happens during the morning hours. If enough sunshine breaks through after the early showers, scattered thunderstorms could redevelop Friday afternoon, with a few producing gusty winds and hail. Additional rounds of showers and storms remain possible through the holiday weekend, making it important to keep an eye on updated forecasts if you have outdoor plans. The good news is the extreme heat has backed off. Looking ahead, next week trends quieter with a more typical July pattern featuring plenty of dry time and seasonable temperatures.
