The National Weather Service in Milwaukee is flagging a brisk and possibly flurry-filled close to November. With Thanksgiving Day heralding a partly sunny sky and modest highs around 33 degrees—tenants of the city will need to bundle up as west winds sweep through at 10 to 15 mph. While many will seek the warmth of familial gatherings, those stepping out into the evening might face the whimsy of flurries after 9 p.m.
As diners digest their turkey and trimmings, the city's weather takes a frostier turn. The low tonight is expected to hunker down around 20 degrees. Those gusty west winds persist, potentially amplifying to 25 mph, according to a detailed forecast from the NWS Milwaukee.
The cold cascade continues into tomorrow, with temperatures unlikely to climb much higher than 25 degrees and northwest gales possibly reaching a blustery 30 mph. As the week winds down, clear night skies will offer little insulation, forecasters say, pushing lows to a biting 14 degrees tomorrow night.
Weekend warriors planning outings will be greeted by sunshine and a high of 26 on Saturday. But as night falls, the temperatures follow suit, making plans for warmth essential. Forecasts predict a Saturday night low around 16 degrees, with winds lessening slightly but still noteworthy at 10 mph. This pattern holds true through to Sunday, with daytime highs creeping up slightly to 31 before dipping once more in the evening.
Those looking ahead to the start of the workweek might pause to appreciate a continued stretch of partially sunny skies. Monday and Tuesday's daytime temperatures hover near the freezing mark of 31 and 33 degrees, respectively. A subtle shift comes Tuesday night as a 20 percent chance of snow showers enters the scene—ushering in a slightly warmer Wednesday with possible snow showers and highs inching up to 36.
