Milwaukee rolled into Friday, May 29 under clear, calm skies, with temperatures sitting near 48°F at Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport. The city will hang onto mostly sunny skies through the day with a high near 74°F. Lakeshore neighborhoods will run a bit cooler as a light lake breeze kicks in later this afternoon.
Afternoon Commute
The ride home should stay dry and bright, with light northeast winds around 0–5 mph and good visibility. Inland spots are set to climb into the low to mid 70s, while neighborhoods right along Lake Michigan slip back into the mid 60s by late afternoon. No rain is expected through this evening, according to the National Weather Service.
Weekend And Week Ahead
The weekend forecast stays on the quiet side, with dry weather and highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. Saturday should top out near 66°F, with Sunday nudging a bit warmer near 71°F. Next week, temperatures trend up, reaching the upper 70s and low 80s. Forecasters are watching a stronger warm-up Thursday, June 4, when highs could push close to 87°F. There is only a small chance for showers with a weak front on Monday, and forecasters are flagging increasing fire-weather concerns into early next week, as outlined in the National Weather Service forecast discussion.
What This Means For Plans
Most outdoor plans through the weekend should be able to roll as scheduled, with sunshine the main headliner. Sunscreen and water are smart add-ons for the warmer afternoons. For events later next week, be ready for a noticeable jump in heat by Thursday, June 4. There are currently no watches or warnings for Milwaukee, but it is worth checking official updates if the warm, dry pattern hangs on.
