MILWAUKEE - Today's weather in Southeastern Wisconsin should be a repeat of the seasonal weather we experienced in our area on Monday.

"Almost a carbon copy forecast of Monday, it will be cooler by the lakefront today with highs in the upper 60s due to that easterly wind at 5-10 mph," said Storm Team 4Caster Jesse Ritka, who tells us inland temps should be a few degrees higher.

"There will be a few more clouds this afternoon as a there is a slight chance for a light shower mainly in the west, but most of us stay dry."

She also believes Wednesday could bring more of the same before some changes in our weather.

"High pressure keeps us dry for Wednesday but a persistent easterly wind keeps it cooler by the lake once again," explained Jesse. 

"We start a warming trend on Thursday as winds switch to being from the south, as everyone will see 70s with plenty of sun.  Summer-like weather is back for the weekend with a return of the 80s with a few storms showers developing by Saturday afternoon, it will not be a washout."
