Milwaukee Weather: Sunny Thursday, storms back Friday

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

Thursday gives us one more quiet and pleasant day, although some patchy fog could develop early. Showers and a few thunderstorms return Friday as a weak low and cold front cross the region. Severe weather is not a major concern Friday, with weak wind shear expected to keep any storms on the tamer side. The weekend looks mainly dry, and high pressure should keep the pleasant weather going through Monday. Our next system arrives late Monday night into Tuesday, and that one deserves a little more attention because stronger wind shear could create at least some potential for stronger storms.
