FOX6 Weather

9:02pm Sunday: Breezy and warm on Memorial Day with highs in the mid-80s. It will cool down right along the lakeshore in the afternoon (not as far inland as Sunday). A batch of t-storms in Minnesota will die out as it heads our way on Monday AM, but we will see some clouds or patchy drizzle around midday. Mainly partly sunny, breezy and warm.

4:30pm Sunday 5/24: Oh, hello Lake Michigan. Milwaukee was up to 73° early this afternoon but then the lake breeze kicked in. As the land is warming up, it is causing the cooler lake air to move in from the SE. After sunset, look for the wind to shift to the SW. No substantial lake breeze on Memorial Day with a stout SW wind in the forecast. Highs in in the mid-80s area-wide. Have a safe holiday weekend!

5/23 10:05 PM A summer-like pattern provides sunshine and warm temperatures into next week. We do have a slight chance for showers so just have keep that in mind. Otherwise, enjoy your Memorial Day weekend. fox6now.com/weather -Holly Baker

5/22 11:15 PM We have a "Happy Holly Forecast" on the way for Memorial Day Weekend. I hope you guys are ready to soak up sunshine and warmer temperatures over the next few days. Prepare for a slight chance of rain showers Saturday. fox6now.com/weather -Holly Baker

5/21 10:25pm: Are you ready for a warm up? A gradual warm up is on the way for the holiday weekend. 70s and 80s will return Sunday and Monday as this chilly air mass moves northeast out of our region. Have a safe holiday weekend!

Thu. 5/21: We NEED some rain. After 9.49" of rain in April in Milwaukee, we turned the calendar to May and turned the water off! Only 0.15" of rain in Milwaukee for the month so far. We aren't in drought territory, but we are heading that way if we don't get some decent rain soon. No major storm systems in sight right now.

The final storm spotter training of the year from the National Weather Service is on Thursday. Two sessions. 1pm and 5:30pm lasting 2 hours. It is free and open to the public, being held at the West Bend Police Department. These are great to attend if you are a weather enthusiast or have weather anxiety! You can learn so much at these classes. I would encourage everyone to attend. Here is more information: weather.gov/mkx/spotter-sc… See less

Tue. 5/19 10:35pm: Chilly on Wednesday and Thursday but gradually warming up as we head into the holiday weekend. No major storm systems in sight. A few rain showers are possible on Thursday afternoon and again Friday night. A few t-storms are possible on Sunday, but chances are pretty low right now.

Tornado Update. An EF-0 Tornado touched down in SW WI (near the IL border) near Benton, WI early Saturday AM 5/16 (just after midnight). Wisconsin is now at 28 tornadoes for the year so far, the annual average is 23.

2:40pm Tuesday: Hello cold front! Big temperature drop on the way. 50s later this evening and 40s overnight. Brisk on Wednesday with highs in the 50s. We will warm back into the 70s throughout the holiday weekend. No major storms in sight.

12:20am Tuesday: Ah the sweet sweet view of a gust front out of this line to our west. This means the weakening is beginning! We might see a few more storms fire off of this cooler air surging ahead of the line, but severe weather is not expected.

12:06am: No severe storms at this time in southwestern Wisconsin. This line is moving east at 30mph (individual storms moving NE). Here is rough estimate of arrival times. Can't rule out some wind and rumbles as this comes through, although given the late/early hour, it should be on a weakening trend. We will be watching all night.

11:05pm Mon 5/18: T-Storms overnight with gusty winds, ending by 4am. An isolated t-storm possible through midday along with a 12pm high temperature...dropping in the afternoon. Chilly on Wed/Thu. Gradually warming up for the holiday weekend.

9:55pm Monday: A line of t-storms is intensifying to our west tonight as warm air at 5,000 feet (low-level jet stream) is feeding this system. This will mean t-storms will move across southern WI between 12am-4am. They should be on a gradual weakening trend overnight. However, gusty winds, heavy rain along with lightning strikes can be expected. Massive widespread severe weather is unlikely, but a few t-storm warnings can't be ruled out. This will be done before the AM commute on Tuesday. An isolated AM t-storm is possible (through noon) with a midday high of 72.

Sun. 5/17 10:25pm: AM t-storms possible on Monday otherwise warm with a slight chance for an afternoon/evening storm. Highs in the low 80s. Another line of storms will move in after 12am Tuesday, but it is expected to weaken as it moves in. A few morning storms on Tuesday with falling afternoon temperatures. Mid-week cool down before temperatures go up over the holiday weekend.

9:25pm Sunday: 2 rounds of t-storms are possible...one overnight tonight and again late Monday night/early Tuesday AM. This first line is nasty off to our west tonight with a stout severe line of storms from Minnesota to Kansas. Ahead of that line, scattered storms are developing along a low-level jet stream. Those storms are moving NNE. As the line moves east, it is expected to weaken by the time it reaches us after 2am. We will need to watch for scattered cells out ahead of the line and I'll be watching for signs of weakening along the line (ie. gust front development). Some AM rain/non-severe storms on Monday, warm by afternoon (areawide) with highs in the low 80s. Slim chance for an afternoon/evening t-storm. Another line will develop to our west tomorrow afternoon (similar to Sunday). As of now, that line is also expected to weaken as it moves in after 12am Tuesday. *Bottom line...major severe weather is not expected around here, but scattered cells could develop ahead of the line and if the line does hold on, we would see strong winds. Stay tuned for updates/changes, but I'm not too worried right now.
