Milwaukee is getting a stormy start Wednesday morning, with showers and thunderstorms likely early before partly sunny skies take over. Temperatures near 70 degrees will climb to about 84 by afternoon, making for a warm turnaround after the rain moves through.
Morning Storms Give Way To A Breezy Afternoon
The main round of showers and thunderstorms is expected to clear the area by around 9 a.m., according to the National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan. A stray shower or storm could return between 1 and 3 p.m., but the afternoon should be mostly sunny with west winds around 10 to 15 mph.
Forecasters say widespread severe weather is not expected, though an isolated stronger storm could bring brief gusty winds or small hail. No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the Milwaukee area, but anyone caught outside during thunder should head indoors until the threat passes.
Thursday And Friday Bring A Welcome Reset
Thursday looks sunny and noticeably cooler, with a high near 78 and a low around 62 Thursday night. Friday should be the week’s cleanest outdoor window, featuring sunshine, light winds and a high near 76.
The calmer late-week stretch follows the midweek storm turn flagged in an earlier Hoodline forecast, though the latest outlook now points to a quieter Thursday and Friday before the next pattern change.
Weekend Warmth Returns With More Storm Chances
Saturday warms back up to around 81 under partly sunny skies, with a 30% chance of rain showers arriving after 7 p.m. Sunday could reach 84, but a chance of showers before 1 p.m. may complicate some outdoor plans.
Storm chances continue Sunday night into Monday, when temperatures again approach 84 degrees. Tuesday stays mostly sunny with a high near 81, but another round of rain showers remains possible as the unsettled pattern lingers into early next week.
