The National Weather Service in Milwaukee reports a chilly start to the day with temperatures currently standing at 14°F and a forecasted high of 24°F. There is some relief on the horizon, though, as temperatures are expected to rise slightly throughout the week. According to the latest update on NWS, a west wind blowing at 5 to 10 mph will accompany today's partly sunny skies.
Tonight, Milwaukee residents can expect partly cloudy skies with the mercury dipping to around 13°F, with wind chill values sinking even lower. A southwest wind around 5 mph, should persist through the nighttime hours. As tomorrow rolls in, increasing clouds will bring a high near 29°F and we can anticipate a 20 percent chance of snow after midnight. Towards the end of the week, the likelihood of snowfall climbs to a 50 percent.
The Weather Service advises that Friday may see more snow, with highs hovering near the freezing point. The subsequent weekend promises a brief respite from precipitation as Saturday is set to be mostly sunny with a high near 26°F but, snow is likely to return on Sunday, with a 70 percent chance of snow primarily after noon. The grey tapestry of clouds will be a staple in the city’s skyline, punctuated only by brief intervals of sun and stellar temperatures that remind one of winter’s ongoing narrative.
As Milwaukeeans steel themselves for the week ahead, predictions suggest the new workweek will greet them with partly sunny conditions and a high near 25°F on Monday, but nightfall brings a stark drop to around 8°F. Tuesday seems to promise a break from the capricious hold of winter's chill, thrusting Milwaukee under mostly sunny skies and a high near a still brisk 17°F.
