The National Weather Service in Milwaukee has issued a forecast for variable weather conditions over the next few days, starting with a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms mainly post 3 p.m. today, with temperatures peaking near 81 degrees. The sky will remain partially veiled by clouds as a light south breeze picks up this morning, as per the latest update from the NWS. Tonight's outlook signals the continuation of potential rains with a 40 percent probability, and the wind projected to shift from southwest to northwest post-midnight.
Wisconsinites can expect a mostly cloudy tomorrow before the heavens gradually clear, offering a sunny embrace with highs rounding near 77 degrees, and tomorrow night the skies will nearly empty of clouds, leading to a stoic low around 63. However, the latter part of the week brings back the chance for precipitation with Friday showing a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms in the forecast, which is set to climb to 60 percent by Friday night, introducing rainfall that could accumulate between half to three-quarters of an inch into the already waterlogged grounds.
The outlook for the weekend seems to toggle between wet and dry spells; the NWS anticipates partly sunny conditions for Saturday with a continuing chance of showers and possibly thunderstorms post 1 p.m., but Sunday promises to bathe in sunlight, boasting a high near 84. According to the NWS report, Sunday night will maintain its clarity, setting the tone for a mostly sunny Monday, albeit with a slight 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms accompanying the climb to a high near 87.
The National Weather Service has also delivered a Hazardous Weather Outlook that includes east central, south central, and southeast Wisconsin for days ranging from today through the following Monday, recommending residents to remain vigilant of the changing conditions and to seek indoor refuge if storms approach; thankfully, no spotter activation is necessary at this time.
