Residents of Milwaukee and its surrounding areas should be prepared for a mixed bag of weather conditions today, with the National Weather Service in Milwaukee forecasting showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm before 8am, followed by a chance of more rain and thunderstorms up until 9 am. It's not all gloomy skies though, as the clouds are expected to clear up, paving the way for a mostly sunny day with highs nearing 86 degrees. Winds will remain a gentle whisper, shifting from southwest to southeast in the afternoon. The National Weather Service indicates a 60 percent chance of precipitation, with new rainfall amounts predicted to be less than a tenth of an inch, barring higher amounts that could occur during thunderstorms.
Tonight, the chance of rainfall persists, albeit reduced to 30 percent, and is likely to feature mainly before the witching hour of 2 am. Temperatures during the night are not looking to drop significantly, with an expected low around 67 degrees while the winds take a light turn from east to north later in the evening. As tomorrow rolls in, Milwaukee might see more showers and thunderstorms before 2 pm, followed by further chances for showers until 4 pm and potential thunderstorms after 4 pm. Those bracing for the midweek should keep umbrellas close by as there's a 40 percent chance of estimable rain.
The outlook for tomorrow night promises more uncertainty with a 30 percent chance of thunderstorms, accompanied by a gentle banner of clouds that will gradually concede to partly cloudy skies. Temperatures will hover around a comfortable low of 64, while the northeast wind continues to guard the city at speeds of around 15 mph. Thankfully, relief is in sight with a sunny Thursday awaiting and a continued breezy northeast wind around 15 mph.
Spacious blue skies will bless Friday and the weekend, maintaining a steady pattern of warmth and sunshine, with daily high temperatures expected to rise gently from 75 degrees on Friday to 81 by Monday. As the National Weather Service suggests, the nights will be mostly clear with lows ranging between 60 and 63 degrees, while wind activities simply brush past Milwaukee in mild northeastern whispers of 5 to 15 mph. Hazardous weather does not seem to be on the horizon following today, though a cautionary note extends through tomorrow for potential thunderstorms, especially south of I-94. Spotters, however, can stand down as the National Weather Service indicates that spotter activation is "not anticipated."
