Milwaukee Weather: Cooler Monday, midweek warm-up

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

We're starting the week with a little reminder that it's late October, as a cold front brings breezy north-east winds and temperatures in the 50s to near 60. Don't get too comfortable with the cooler air, because temperatures bounce back above normal once again later this week. Despite a couple of weather systems passing nearby, we should manage to stay dry through Wednesday. Our best chance for a soaking comes Wednesday night into Thursday as a cold front pushes through southern Wisconsin. Behind that front, cooler air settles in to finish the week, with high pressure looking to keep much of the weekend quiet.
