Milwaukee residents should expect to keep their umbrellas close-by today, with forecasts indicating a slight chance of showers later in the afternoon. The National Weather Service in Milwaukee reports a 20 percent chance of rainfall after 3 pm, amidst mostly cloudy skies and a high temperature hovering around 55 degrees. The persistent north wind at 10 miles per hour is expected to subtly shift, nudging the mercury just a bit higher.
Tonight, Milwaukee will see clouds gradually giving way to clear skies, with temperatures dipping to a low around 41 degrees. Winds are projected to calm down, making for a stiller, albeit crisp night. Looking ahead tomorrow and the weekend, the forecast is generously sprinkled with sunshine. Highs will dance around the upper 50s, while evenings promise a consistent cool with lows in the low 40s. The National Weather Service anticipates no significant weather troubles, allowing residents to readily plan their outdoor activities.
However, a note of caution comes for beachgoers, with a moderate swim risk in effect today at Racine County beaches. The National Weather Service cautions swimmers about the increased danger of rip currents and advises against taking a dip in treacherous waters.
Residents looking forward to Memorial Day and the start of the week should prepare to possibly grab their raincoats again, with chances of showers resurfacing at 20 percent on Monday and hovering around 30 percent on Tuesday. The weather agency suggests this momentary return to April showers will quickly pass, leaving Milwaukee to enjoy a more consistent stride into warmer temperatures by Wednesday, with highs expected to climb close to 70 degrees.
