Milwaukee Weather: Chance of rain and thunderstorms
Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell
MILWAUKEE - Showers and thunderstorms will continue through Wednesday, with the biggest concern being heavy downpours that could lead to localized flooding, especially in low-lying and urban areas.
While a few storms may produce gusty winds, the overall severe weather threat remains fairly limited. By Thursday, high pressure moves in, bringing sunshine, comfortable humidity, and one of the nicest days of the week. Heat and humidity quickly return Friday and stick around through early next week. Along with the warmer weather, expect periodic showers and thunderstorms through Tuesday, with Monday currently looking like the wettest day.
