Milwaukee Weather: A stormy week ahead

Published August 10, 2026 5:27 AM CDT

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

The unsettled pattern hangs around for another couple of days, with scattered showers and storms possible through the week.
Another significant storm complex could roll across southern Wisconsin Tuesday morning into the afternoon, bringing heavy downpours and the potential for strong to severe wind gusts.
Exactly how Tuesday plays out will depend heavily on where the stalled frontal boundary sets up and what happens with earlier storms.
Things should gradually settle down as high pressure gives us a much-needed stretch of quieter and less humid weather Thursday and Friday. Enjoy it while it lasts because shower and thunderstorm chances return this weekend.
