Milwaukee residents can expect foggy conditions to dissipate this morning, leading to a cloudy day with a slight chance of drizzle between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Current temperatures sit around 42°F with a modest southwest wind chill reducing that to 37°F; conditions should improve slightly with an anticipated high near 47°F and light southwest winds of 5 to 10 mph, according to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee.
Evening forecasts predict mostly cloudy skies and a drop to a low around 36°F, the northwest wind remaining tame at around 5 mph, even though some are hoping for clearer skies to enjoy the brisk November air. The coming days, starting Friday, indicate partly sunny weather with highs creeping just under 50°F, and the nighttime lows hovering above freezing, particularly on Friday night with an expected low around 31°F. The consistency of these conditions speaks to a Midwest accustomed to the ebb and flow of an often unpredictable shoulder season.
As weekend plans begin to take shape, residents can look forward to mostly sunny Saturday skies and mildly warmer temperatures. North winds will shift south in the afternoon with the mercury poised to peak at 48°F, while Saturday night will see partly cloudy conditions and a low near 38°F, as per the NWS.
Sunday promises unobstructed sunshine and the warmest day of the week, with a high nearing 54°F, although the wind will pick up slightly, around 10 mph from the west. This change will bring a refreshing close to the weekend; Sunday night will have partly cloudy skies and lows once again around 36°F. The tranquil weather will take a tentative shift come Monday, with a 20 percent chance of rain entering the forecast and climbing to a 50 percent chance by Tuesday, signaling a decidedly more damp and moody atmosphere akin to the seasonal shifts Wisconsin natives have come to expect.
The National Weather Service has also issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for the region—including Marquette, and Kenosha among others—due to patchy dense fog this morning in Lafayette, Iowa, and Green Counties, with a Special Weather Statement in effect through 8 AM CST. No hazardous weather is expected from Friday through Wednesday, suggesting smooth sailing for folks after the morning fog lifts.
