Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell
MILWAUKEE - We get a quieter stretch Wednesday, with only a stray sprinkle or two, but watch the lake with a high swim risk for Milwaukee and Racine County beaches. Scattered showers become more likely Wednesday night into Thursday morning before we dry things out again Thursday afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms spread back into southern Wisconsin and Friday into Saturday. There will be plenty of moisture available, so locally heavy rainfall and repeated downpours are something we'll be watching Friday night into Saturday.
More showers and a few storms possible Sunday through Tuesday, but don't read that as a nonstop washout since there should be dry windows mixed in.
Today: 68 LAKE. Mostly cloudy with isolated showers.
High: 72°

Tonight: Showers ending, mostly cloudy.
