The National Weather Service in Milwaukee has forecasted an overcast day with temperatures holding at a cool 50°F as of the last update. The humidity sits at a snug 71%, and a northwest wind travels at a casual 12 mph, ushering in a wind chill that's more brisk than the actual air—feeling more like 46°F. The barometer reads 30.00 in (1016.0 mb), and a dewpoint of 41°F (5°C) accompanies visibility that stands clear at 10 miles.

In Milwaukee’s detailed forecast for the day, the NWS reports, “Patchy drizzle between 11am and 2pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 54. North wind 5 to 10 mph.” The cooler temperatures will persist into the evening, “Mostly cloudy, with a low around 41. Northwest wind around 5 mph." The forecast transitions towards brighter prospects with a sunny Thursday envisioned, accompanied by a comfortable high near 56 and a similar pattern of clear skies and fair temperatures leading into Friday. Evening temperatures for these days will dip into the high 30s to low 40s.

However, the relative tranquility of the weather is slated for brief interruption. "A 30 percent chance of rain after noon. Partly sunny, with a high near 58. Southeast wind 5 to 10 mph," reports the NWS for the upcoming Saturday, heralding a weekend that may require both sunshine and rain gear. Saturday night is expected to become wetter, with rain being nearly a certainty at "Low around 48. Southeast wind around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%." It suggests a rainfall accumulation of a substantial quarter to half an inch.

As Sunday rolls around, the likelihood of rain subsides partially, giving way to partly sunny skies and a high near 60, as the possibility of precipitation decreases to 60%. The following Veterans Day observes a return to what is forecasted to be "Mostly sunny, with a high near 58," as detailed by the NWS website.
