Milwaukee Weather: Sunny Monday, wet Wednesday

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

Monday starts our week with comfortable temperatures, low humidity and plenty of sunshine once any patchy early fog burns off. Tuesday brings the return of warmer, more humid air, along with increasing chances of showers and thunderstorms by late in the day and especially Tuesday night. The middle of the week looks active, with several rounds of rain and thunderstorms capable of producing locally heavy rainfall and a flooding risk, while a few stronger storms are also possible Wednesday if skies can clear enough.
Once that system moves out, Thursday and Friday deliver another stretch of pleasant summer weather with sunshine and highs near 80. We'll warm back into the mid-80s for the weekend.
