The current weather conditions in Milwaukee showcase a cold winter's day. With the temperature reading a crisp 16°F and the wind chill making it feel even colder at 7°F, residents are encouraged to dress warmly when stepping outdoors. Today's forecast anticipates a mostly sunny sky with the high moderately rising near 22 degrees. Winds coming from the northwest at 5 to 10 mph will not provide much relief from the cold, adding more reason to keep toasty layers on hand, as reported by NWS Milwaukee.
Tonight, the skies are expected to become mostly cloudy with a low rounding out around 11 degrees. The wind is predicted to slow down, maintaining a pace of about 5 mph and then settling into calmness. As we look ahead into Sunday, Milwaukeeans can anticipate a mix of clouds and sun with temperatures gradually to rise; the high is predicted to be near 31, while south winds will pick up speed, starting from 5 to 10 mph and potentially increasing to 10 to 15 mph in the afternoon.
According to the same NWS Milwaukee report, Sunday night carries a slight chance of snow and freezing rain starting after midnight, potentially blending into a mix of drizzle, snow, and freezing rain after 3 am. While chance of precipitation is marked at 20 percent, the low temperature is forecasted to be around 29 degrees with a persistent south wind.
As the week begins, Monday will have residents preparing for a 40 percent chance of unsettled weather, including drizzle, snow, and freezing rain before 9 am and possibly more snow afterwards. As cloudy skies reign, the high might climb to near 38 degrees, with winds shifting directions from the south in the morning to the west in the afternoon. The rest of the week shows an ongoing pattern of clouds and chances for precipitation, with temperatures steadily creeping up to the low 40s by Friday.
