Residents of Milwaukee should brace for a stretch of gloomy weather ahead, according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service. Today is set to be mostly cloudy, with high temperatures hovering just above the 50-degree mark and persistent northeast winds of 10 to 15 mph, the National Weather Service Milwaukee reports. As folks step out this morning, the wind chill makes it feel closer to a brisk 30°, so better pull out those jackets.
Tonight's outlook isn't any more uplifting, with a chance for showers beginning after 1 a.m. and continuing into Tuesday, which promises a soggy day with steady breezes and gusts reaching up to 35 mph. The National Weather Service predicts a "100% chance of precipitation" for Tuesday, with new rainfall potentially reaching up to an inch. While the temperature drops during this forecast period to a low around 46 tonight, the blustery conditions will likely make it feel colder than thermometer reads.
Those hoping for a reprieve midweek will find little to be cheerful about: Rain is likely to continue into Wednesday, with chances of precipitation at 70% and the wind refusing to let up. Showers are expected to ease up by Wednesday night, but with a 30 percent chance of more rain before the following daybreak, as reported by the National Weather Service.
Looking toward the end of the week, there's a brief glimpse of sunlight on the horizon. The National Weather Service Milwaukee's detailed forecast suggests Thursday will be mostly sunny despite a 20% chance of showers in the afternoon—while Friday will follow a similar pattern, offering a mix of sunshine and potentially sprinkling skies. Temperatures are projected to rise slightly, reaching high near the 58 degrees on Friday and edging into the 60s by Sunday.
