Milwaukee is waking up to partly cloudy skies Friday, but the clouds will quickly give way to sunshine and a mild afternoon near 77 degrees. South winds will build to 5 to 15 mph, making for an easy day to be outside before the forecast takes a wetter turn early next week.
Sunny Friday Leads To A Warmer Saturday
The National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan expects dry conditions Friday, with temperatures reaching the upper 70s and falling to around 64 overnight. Saturday will be mostly sunny and warmer, with a high near 79 and southwest winds between 5 and 15 mph.
The latest outlook keeps the near-term forecast calmer than the stormier pattern outlined in Hoodline’s earlier forecast. Saturday night should turn partly cloudy, with temperatures dropping to about 58 degrees behind a passing front.
Cooler Sunday, Rain Chances Return At Night
Sunday should be mostly sunny but cooler, with a high near 73. Precipitation chances increase to more than 40% overnight Sunday and through Monday.
Storm Chances Build Monday And Tuesday
Showers and thunderstorms become more likely Monday. The forecast also raises potential minor flooding concerns.
Unsettled weather is expected to continue Monday night and into Tuesday morning, with showers and thunderstorms possible. Tuesday could bring a chance of showers. Conditions are expected to settle down toward the middle of the following week as high pressure brings a cooler air mass.
No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for Milwaukee County at this time. For Friday and Saturday, outdoor plans look straightforward; by Sunday night, it will be smart to keep an eye on the sky and have a backup plan ready.
