The National Weather Service in Milwaukee reports a mostly cloudy morning with temperatures around 32°F and a northwest wind moving at a pace of about 7 mph. The forecast, which predicts a rise in temperatures to a high near 43 later today, also suggests winds accelerating to 10 to 15 mph.

Tonight's outlook hints at partly cloudy skies, with the mercury dropping to a low around 29. A gentle north wind will accompany the nightly chill. Tomorrow, Milwaukeeans should expect increasing clouds, followed by a high near 41 and an easterly wind picking up to 15 mph. Tomorrow night is slated to bring a mix of rain and snow before 10 pm, thereafter switching to rain with possible thunderstorms. The low will be around 35 degrees, and the east wind might assert itself with gusts as strong as 35 mph.

According to the NWS Milwaukee forecast, Wednesday will witness rain and potential thunderstorms with a considerable temperature spike to a high near 63, while gusts could peak again at 35 mph. The prediction does not bode well for those with outdoor plans, as the chance of precipitation sits at an undeniable 100%, plus a substantial amount of rain could leave its mark, with new rainfall between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.

However, come Wednesday night, the chance of continued rain and thunderstorms before 10pm will diminish to a slight 20 percent, followed by partly cloudy conditions and a low around 40, the southwest wind will hold steady at 10 to 15 mph, but sunshine should resume by Thursday with highs expected near 52 and the west wind maintaining a consistent 10 to 15 mph pace. The week's weather narrative teases a shift with the return of partly cloudy nights and a dip in temperatures to a low around 34 by Thursday night, setting the stage for a repeated cycle of sunny days and chances of rain by nightfall as the weekend inches closer.
