Southeast Wisconsin is riding a weather roller coaster this week!

Temperatures will hold steady or even rise slightly tonight and overnight with a few passing clouds. As mild air moves in over the cold waters of Lake Michigan, areas of fog will likely develop over the water, and could impact some areas close to the lake.

South to southwest winds will continue to bring in warm air, helping push high temperatures in the 60s to near 70-degrees Tuesday afternoon. The day will be dry, breezy, and warm, but by evening, the weather turns more active.

Scattered showers and storms fire up after 5pm. Some of the storms could produce damaging hail and strong winds, along with lightning and pockets of heavy rain. However, there is still a chance that the strongest storms will miss us just to the south. Be sure to stay weather aware on Tuesday.

As a strong cold front moves through late Tuesday, rain will change over to snow as cold air rushes in. Snow wraps up quickly, with only an inch or less expected. However, the combination of wet roads, rapidly cooling temps, and light snow could create slippery road conditions for the Wednesday morning commute. Temperatures will be in the 30s by daybreak, and gusty winds will make it feel like temperatures are only in the teens and 20s most of the day.

High-pressure moves in for the latter half of the week. Highs gradually increase from the 40s to the 50s & 60s by next weekend.
