Milwaukee is starting Wednesday with showers likely, and more showers and a few thunderstorms are expected between 7 a.m. and noon before the weather improves. The high should reach about 79 degrees.
The National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan says there is a 60% chance of rain today, with west winds near 10 mph. Brief heavy downpours are possible, and lightning is expected to be the main concern, though no watches or warnings are in effect. The forecast does not specify a rainfall total, according to the National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan.
Dry By Lunch, Cooler Tonight
Showers should taper off by late morning as drier air moves into the city, with clouds gradually breaking for a partly sunny afternoon. Temperatures will remain near the upper 70s before falling to the mid-50s to near 60 degrees overnight. The new timing is a notable shift from Tuesday’s earlier forecast, which kept the storm threat focused more broadly through the day, as detailed in Hoodline’s earlier forecast.
The Rest Of The Week Looks Easier
Thursday should be mostly sunny with a high near 74, followed by a sunny Friday topping out around 75. Overnight lows will settle mainly in the upper 50s and lower 60s, making for a more comfortable stretch after Wednesday’s humid start. Saturday brings another warm afternoon near 79, though a 30% chance of rain showers could complicate some outdoor plans.
Rain Chances Return This Weekend
Sunday brings possible light rain and storms. Rain chances rise Sunday night and continue into Monday, when Milwaukee could see showers and thunderstorms. Storms remain likely Monday night, while later conditions are not specified.
