Milwaukee is starting Monday under fog and mist, with temperatures around 72 degrees and calm winds early this morning. The fog should thin after daybreak, setting up a partly sunny afternoon with a high near 79. It is a damp, muggy start, but the day improves quickly.
Fog Lifts For A Mostly Pleasant Monday
Patchy fog is expected to linger before 7 a.m., which could slow the morning commute in spots before visibility improves. According to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan, northeast winds will stay light at 5 mph or less, with rain chances remaining near zero through the afternoon.
Tuesday Brings The Week’s Main Storm Threat
Showers and thunderstorms become likely Tuesday, with a 70% chance of precipitation and a high near 78. Rainfall totals could reach between a quarter-inch and half-inch, while the weather service says some storms may bring heavy rain, gusty winds and localized flooding concerns.
Storm chances continue Tuesday night, though rainfall should be lighter and more hit-or-miss. Anyone with outdoor plans should keep a backup option handy, especially from Tuesday morning through the afternoon.
Cooler And Drier Weather Arrives Late Week
Wednesday keeps a smaller chance of showers and thunderstorms, with a high near 81. The pattern turns drier Thursday and Friday as temperatures ease to the mid-70s Thursday and around 71 Friday, with northeast winds becoming more noticeable late in the week.
Weekend Rain Chances Return
Showers may return Saturday and Sunday, with both days carrying a 40% chance of rain or storms. Highs should remain seasonable, near 72 Saturday and 74 Sunday, making the weekend more unsettled than the quieter stretch expected late this week.
