The National Weather Service in Milwaukee has provided updates on the local forecast, indicating a chilly start to December. According to the latest weather report, Milwaukee woke up to "A Few Clouds" and a frigid 14°F (-10°C) this morning, with a "Wind Chill" factor making it feel like 0°F (-18°C). The rest of the day is expected to bring sunny skies, though the high will hover around just 28°F. Winds continue to gust from the west between 10 to 15 mph.
Tonight, the weather is anticipated to remain "Mostly clear," with temperatures slightly warmer, sticking around 18°F. The presence of a northwest wind around 10 mph will persist through the evening. Looking ahead, Monday could see "A chance of flurries before 3pm," before returning to "Mostly sunny" conditions with highs creeping up to 32°F. However, Monday night will likely revisit cooler temperatures, with a low around 20°F and less intense northwest winds of 5 to 10 mph.
The week's midpoint delivers a marked shift, as "A 40 percent chance of snow" enters the forecast for Tuesday night, with temperatures at a low around 26°F. It's also noted that Wednesday harbors a "30 percent chance of snow," besides the "Mostly cloudy" skies, and temperatures may reach up to 40°F. However, come Wednesday night, a significant drop to around 15°F is expected, coupled with "Blustery" northwest winds of 15 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.
The local Hazardous Weather Outlook cautions residents of east-central, south-central, and southeast Wisconsin. For "Today and Tonight," residents can expect a few harmless flurries with no major weather disruptions. Come Monday, the scenario is similar, as "Additional flurries are possible areawide." It's not until Tuesday night into Wednesday that "Snow showers are expected," due to an Alberta Clipper passing through the region. Despite these conditions, the NWS states that "Spotter activation will not be needed."
