Milwaukee Weather: Morning rain then mild and cloudy

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

Southern Wisconsin stays wet Friday morning but should dry up through the mid-day.
Temperatures stay well above normal through the weekend, keeping most precipitation liquid.
A stronger storm system arrives Sunday, bringing widespread rain, then a sharp turn to winter as strong northwest winds pull in polar air Sunday night into Monday.
That colder blast will flip rain to light snow and deliver single-digit wind chills by Monday morning. Colder weather lingers into midweek with a couple light snow chances.
