FOX 47'S Seven Day Forecast

Cool air across Wisconsin will keep temperatures below normal through the rest of the weekend, and near normal for Memorial Day Monday. With warmer and more humid air to our south and west, a fair amount of cloud cover will linger through the weekend. Rain chances will increase a bit on Sunday. There will still be a slight chance of showers on Memorial Day as the warm front marking the leading edge of the warm and humid air mass heads northward early next week. Highs will only be around 60 on Saturday, but should climb into the middle 60s on Sunday, and into the lower 70s on Memorial Day.

As the warm front moves through and north of the area on Tuesday, summer-like weather moves in as temperatures climb into the 80s. The shower and thunderstorm threat should move north with the front for Wednesday and Thursday, with partly sunny, windy, very warm, and humid weather, but very low chances for rain.

On Friday into Saturday, showers and thunderstorms should return as a cold front approaches from the west, and moves through late on Saturday. By next Sunday, sunshine should return, along with slightly cooler and less humid weather as high temperatures return to the 70s.
