Milwaukee Weather: Quiet through Tuesday before the next round of storms arrives

Published July 6, 2026 4:20 AM CDT

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

Southern Wisconsin is in for a quiet start to the week as high pressure delivers plenty of sunshine, low humidity and comfortable temperatures through Tuesday. Wednesday will be the warmest day of the week as temperatures climb to near 90 ahead of an approaching cold front. Shower and thunderstorm chances increase into Thursday as the front slowly moves through the state. While a few stronger storms are possible, it's still too early to pin down how widespread or intense they'll become. Behind the front, drier air returns with seasonable temperatures setting up for a pleasant finish to the week and next weekend.
