Milwaukee is waking up under cloudy, muggy skies Friday, with temperatures around 70 degrees and a warm afternoon ahead. The city should reach about 84 degrees with partly sunny skies, making for a mostly dry day before storm chances return after dark.
Friday Stays Warm Before Late Storm Chance
Southwest winds will run around 5 to 10 mph as clouds give way to more sun through the afternoon. The National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan office says showers and thunderstorms could move through between roughly 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., although the chance of rain is only about 30% and rainfall should stay below a tenth of an inch.
Saturday Offers A Brief Weather Reset
Saturday looks like the best outdoor day of the weekend, with sunny skies, a high near 81 degrees and a low around 65 overnight. Winds will turn northwest at 5 to 10 mph, bringing noticeably drier and more comfortable air after Friday's humidity.
Storm Chances Build Sunday And Monday
Sunday brings another warm afternoon near 83 degrees, but showers and thunderstorms have a 50% chance during the day and night. The unsettled stretch becomes more pronounced Monday, when showers and thunderstorms are likely, rain chances rise to 70% and rainfall could total three-quarters of an inch to 1 inch.
Tuesday and Wednesday remain cooler, with highs in the mid-70s and additional chances for showers or thunderstorms. No weather advisories are in effect for Milwaukee at this time, but anyone with plans Sunday through Monday should keep an eye on updated forecasts from the National Weather Service.
