Milwaukee Weather: Dry weekend, rain returns Tuesday

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

Sunday kicks off another quiet and seasonable stretch with high pressure keeping most of southern Wisconsin dry. A stray shower possible early Sunday, west of Madison, but for most of us the weekend finishes dry. Monday stays pleasant with highs around 70 before southerly winds begin pulling moisture back into the region Tuesday. Rain should spread from west to east Tuesday and become more widespread Tuesday night, with a few rumbles of thunder possible. After Wednesday morning, confidence drops considerably, with an active pattern nearby but plenty of uncertainty over exactly where the rain and storms will set up.
