Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell
MILWAUKEE - Southern Wisconsin starts the week on a spring-like note with temperatures pushing into the upper 60s Monday and potentially tying or breaking daily records.
That warmth does not last long as a developing Plains storm spreads rain into the region Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night, with a few embedded thunderstorms possible.
Colder air wrapping into the system will gradually flip the precipitation to a wintry mix and light snow Wednesday, especially north of the I-94 corridor.
Any accumulation looks minor, but slushy roads could slow the Wednesday morning commute. After a brief midweek lull, the overall pattern stays active late Thursday and again during the upcoming weekend.
