Wisconsin residents can expect a mix of sun and storms this week, according to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee. Today brings a 70% chance of showers and thunderstorms, with possible small hail and gusty winds. Highs will reach around 67°F with mostly cloudy skies and southwest winds at 10 to 15 mph. Rain may continue into the evening before skies begin to clear and temperatures drop to around 53°F.
Looking ahead, Tuesday will be sunny with a high near 74°F. However, rain and thunderstorm chances return Wednesday night and continue into the weekend. The NWS reports a 50% chance of showers and storms on both Friday and Saturday, though exact timing and intensity are still uncertain.
Focusing on the hazards, the NWS Milwaukee released an early morning Hazardous Weather Outlook alerting to the potential for stronger storms today that could manifest in small hail and gusty winds. However, "Spotter activation should not be needed Monday". The long-range forecast through Sunday emphasizes recurrent chances for thunderstorms, particularly for the latter half of the week.
