Milwaukee Weather: Mostly sunny and dry again

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

Southern Wisconsin gets one more day of beautiful summer weather before the heat and humidity gradually return this weekend. Expect highs in the upper 70s and low 80 Thursday and Friday with another refreshing lake breeze keeping lakeshore communities a little cooler. Saturday remains largely dry, but you'll notice the air becoming noticeably more humid. Our next meaningful chance of showers and thunderstorms arrives Sunday and continues at times into early next week, although it won't be raining the entire time. We'll also be watching the potential for a few stronger storms Sunday into Monday as the atmosphere becomes warmer, more humid and increasingly unstable.
