Sunday, May 24, 2026 is starting off cool and mostly clear in Milwaukee, with temperatures around 54°F at Mitchell International. Early commuters should be ready for a brief window of showers and a slight chance of thunder before about 10 a.m., while lakefront neighborhoods may run into patchy, locally dense fog around daybreak. By midday, clouds are expected to thin out and the afternoon should turn mostly sunny with a high near 73°F.
According to the National Weather Service, a weak cold front will slide east early Sunday and kick off isolated to scattered showers along with the potential for an isolated thunderstorm. Morning precipitation chances sit at around 60 percent, with most spots expected to see less than a tenth of an inch of new rainfall.
Foggy Mornings, Sunny Afternoons
Light onshore winds overnight will help low clouds and fog drift inland from Lake Michigan, and patchy dense fog could cut visibility on lakeshore streets and at marinas. Drivers on I-43, I-94 and I-794, along with anyone heading to beach access points, should plan a little extra time and stick to low beams if the fog thickens.
Quick Morning Showers, Warmer Memorial Day
The shower window should move off to the east by late morning, leaving a brighter afternoon and highs near 73°F. The warmup continues into Memorial Day on Monday, May 25, with highs around 80°F and south winds of 5 to 10 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
City and county Memorial Day ceremonies and neighborhood parades are scheduled across the area, so check event details before you head out. For a local roundup of what is happening, see Visit Milwaukee.
