For those in Milwaukee and surrounding areas, the National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan has forecasted a medley of weather conditions for the end of April. According to a recent update by the National Weather Service, today will be cloudy with a chilly high near 50 degrees, winds could reach 30 mph, making it feel substantially cooler than the thermometer reads. The chance of rain lingers at 50 percent throughout the day before dropping to 20 percent early tonight.

As Saturday unfolds, the sun could make an appearance, nudging temperatures up to around 50 once again. The evening should be clear with the low hovering around 38 degrees. Come Sunday, expect mostly sunny skies and a high close to 55, with light winds shifting from east to southeast, as reported by the National Weather Service.

On Monday, the chances of rain amplify as they accompany possible thunderstorms—this potential continues into Tuesday with a 70% likelihood of precipitation for Monday night. Meanwhile, forecasted showers and thunderstorms on Tuesday sit at a 40% possibility. The rest of the week until Thursday is expected to fluctuate between partly cloudy to mostly sunny, although a 40% chance of rain could return by Thursday, as stated by the National Weather Service.

Looking ahead, the National Weather Service warns of strong to severe thunderstorms into the new week, highlighting Monday into Tuesday as a period for possible severe weather activity. The Hazardous Weather Outlook specifies that there is a slight chance (15%) of thunderstorms, for today over southern Wisconsin which is expected to escalate by Monday. Spotters are not anticipated to be needed through the weekend, which is modest reassurance for those planning outdoor activities.
