Milwaukee locals can expect a mostly sunny day today with a comfortable high of 76 degrees.

As the day progresses, the likelihood of showers and thunderstorms increases, especially after 4 a.m. tonight; the Southwest wind will pick up to around 10 mph, carrying with it a 60% chance of precipitation and rainfall could range from a tenth to a quarter of an inch, but with thunderstorms, higher amounts are possible.
Looking towards the rest of the week, Thursday may continue to witness some rain showers and possible thunderstorms before clearing up by the afternoon; temperatures will drop slightly to a high near 71 degrees with a shift in winds from the west to the northeast. The forecast, provided by National Weather Service Milwaukee, indicates that by Thursday night, skies will clear up again providing a mostly starry backdrop for a cooler evening.
Stepping into the weekend, Milwaukeeans should be treated to an extended streak of sunshine and clear nights, with temperatures remaining consistently in the upper 60s to mid-70s for highs and mid-50s for lows, the wind will be doing a subtle dance shifting from the north to the east providing a refreshing yet not overbearing presence perfect for those planning any Labor Day excursions or barbecues in honor of the holiday.
