Milwaukee Weather: Clear morning, storms overnight

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

We start Monday on the chilly side, then clouds increase with highs climbing into the lower 70s. The big rain event arrives Monday night into early Tuesday, with widespread showers and scattered thunderstorms capable of producing locally heavy rain and some urban or small stream flooding. Rain should gradually shift south Tuesday morning, but low clouds and muggy conditions may stick around for much of the day. Wednesday and Thursday still carry rain chances and another more organized system could bring storms back Saturday, with the unsettled pattern potentially lingering into Sunday.
