The forecast for Milwaukee, Waukesha and SE Wisconsin is for continued June warmth in March, especially away from the lakefront.  Highs today will be in the mid to upper 70s west of Waukesha with lots of sun, while the lakefront will have fog and highs near 50 thanks to a light east breeze.

Lows drop into the 50s overnight with a few clouds and patchy dense fog.  The wind shifts to the south for the weekend and that means even the lakefront will warm up into the 70s...but a cool breeze might be felt right along the lake at times.  There will be a few 80s in the inland areas on Saturday and Sunday while Milwaukee will be in the low to mid 70s...possible records for both days.  The record for Sunday is 75 from 2009 and Sundays record is 75 from 1903.  There is just an isolated chance for a pop up shower during the day on Saturday..most of remain dry.

The warmth continues all of next week with highs in the upper 60s and 70s through Wednesday and then near 60 Thursday and Friday with a few showers on Wednesday and Thursday.
