Milwaukee is starting Sunday with cool, damp air and patchy fog, but the day should turn into a mostly dry, partly sunny one. Temperatures near 48 degrees early will climb to about 65, with light north winds and no rain expected.

Patchy Fog Saturday Morning

Patchy fog is possible Saturday night into Sunday dawn. The National Weather Service says the fog should continue through dawn and dissipate with daytime mixing, so drivers should slow down and leave extra time during the morning commute.

Quiet Monday, Warmer Tuesday

Monday brings overcast skies and a high near 68, followed by a mostly sunny Tuesday with temperatures reaching about 70. Winds will stay light Sunday and Monday before turning southerly Tuesday, setting the stage for a wetter stretch.

Rain Arrives Tuesday Night

Rain showers become likely after 7 p.m. Tuesday, with a 60% chance of precipitation and a low near 59; a few rumbles of thunder cannot be ruled out. Showers are also likely Wednesday, with cloudy skies and a high near 68.

Cooler, Showery Finish

Additional showers may linger Thursday, with a high near 67, while Friday and Saturday bring a 10% to 20% chance of precipitation. For outdoor plans, Sunday through Tuesday offer the best window before the midweek wet spell moves in.
