Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell
MILWAUKEE - The September calendar may say meteorological Fall, but the atmosphere clearly didn’t get the memo, with warm and muggy weather hanging around through the end of the workweek. Heat indices should routinely reach the low to mid-90s, and spots seeing enough afternoon sunshine could flirt with 100 degrees. A stalled frontal boundary will also keep scattered storm chances in the forecast from later Tuesday through the first half of the weekend, although there will be plenty of dry time between rounds. Wednesday night through Friday looks like the period to watch most closely, as a few stronger or severe storms are possible. The active pattern finally starts to change as we head deeper into the weekend.
