Milwaukee wakes up to a muggy, foggy Saturday morning, sitting at about 63°F and roughly 94% humidity at 5:40 a.m. CDT on Saturday, June 6. Lakeshore neighborhoods are socked in by low clouds, while inland spots are already starting to clear toward a sunny afternoon expected to top out near 82°F.
Sunny Saturday, Lakeshore Stays Cooler
High pressure is building across the region, so most neighborhoods will see sunshine and a high near 82°F on Saturday, June 6, with northeast winds around 5 to 10 mph. Temperatures may ease back a few degrees late in the afternoon as a lake breeze pushes inland, so shoreline patios will feel noticeably cooler. Only a stray, light shower is possible, and any new rainfall amounts are forecast to stay under a tenth of an inch if something does develop.
Thick Lakeshore Fog Cuts Visibility
A Dense Fog Advisory covers Lake Michigan and the immediate lakeshore waters through about 1 p.m. Saturday, June 6, so visibility on the water and along harbor entrances could drop suddenly. Boaters and lakeside commuters should plan for reduced visibility and slower crossings. For details and marine updates, check the latest advisory from the NWS Milwaukee.
Rain And Storms Target Monday Into Monday Night
Humidity returns Monday, June 8, ahead of an approaching low, with rain showers likely after 7 a.m. and stronger showers and thunderstorms expected Monday night. Forecasters say Monday night, June 8, could bring a soaking in spots, with roughly a quarter to a half inch of rain, which could impact evening commutes and outdoor events. Additional thunderstorm chances linger into Tuesday, June 9, and Wednesday, June 10. For more background on the evolving setup, see our earlier Hoodline post from June 1 on the evolving pattern.
Plan Ahead
If you have evening plans on Monday, June 8, keep a backup in mind and monitor conditions, since small outdoor events and the evening commute are most at risk. Check the National Weather Service and local alerts before heading out, and give boaters extra time this morning while the fog lingers.
