Milwaukee Weather: Another round of storms then another warm-up

Published July 9, 2026 4:43 AM CDT

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

Another round of showers and scattered thunderstorms develops Thursday afternoon and early evening. While widespread severe weather isn't expected, a few stronger storms could bring gusty winds, small hail and brief downpours. Once Thursday's storms move out, the weather pattern settles down with several days of mainly dry conditions heading into the weekend. Sunshine and building high pressure will send temperatures steadily higher, with highs in the low 90s by early next week. It'll turn hot and muggy again Monday through Wednesday, but humidity levels should stay just low enough to keep the worst of the dangerous heat in check.
