The forecast for Milwaukee, Waukesha and SE Wisconsin is for hazy sunshine and highs in the upper 50s along the lake with patchy fog, and near 70 well inland with a slight chance of a shower late this afternoon.  A storm system will bring showers and T'storms into the area after midnight with lows in the 50s.

Showers and t'storms continue into Wednesday, especially before noon, then it will be partly cloudy, warm and humid with highs near 80.

Another round of t'storms is likely Wednesday night with lows in the 60s and scattered storms are possible on Thursday with highs in the lower 80s.  Heavy rain will be expected in some of these storms and SE Wisconsin is under a slight risk for severe storms both Wednesday and Thursday for large hail and damaging winds.

There is still a chance for a few t'showers on Friday with highs in the mid to upper 70s.  Milwaukee does cool down for the weekend with highs back to normal on Saturday in the lower 60s and upper 50s on Sunday.
