Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell
MILWAUKEE - Tuesday starts with the week's most significant weather threat as a line of strong to severe thunderstorms moves across southern Wisconsin during the morning into early afternoon. Damaging wind gusts of 60-80 mph are possible, especially closer to the Illinois border, while torrential downpours could produce localized flash flooding. The storms should move out fairly quickly Tuesday afternoon, but the stalled front could help fire up another round of storms Wednesday. Things settle down late week with Friday looking quiet with near seasonal temperatures. Enjoy that break while it lasts because another system is expected to bring increasing shower and thunderstorm chances back to southern Wisconsin this weekend.
