Milwaukee Weather: AM fog then partly sunny

Published August 19, 2026 4:55 AM CDT

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

Watch for areas of fog early Wednesday, including a few locally dense pockets, before drier air finally works into southern Wisconsin. Wednesday should turn into a pretty comfortable August day with partly cloudy skies, lower humidity and highs in the upper 70s. Thursday looks pleasant as well, but our next weather maker arrives Thursday night with showers and a few thunderstorms possible into Friday. A cold front eventually sweeps the rain chances away, although a slower arrival could keep a few showers around into Saturday. Sunday and Monday are looking dry with highs in the mid to upper 70s.
