Friday is expected to bring clouds and light winds to Milwaukee. The afternoon should stay partly sunny and cool, with a high near 64 before a mostly clear night settles in.

There are no watches, warnings or advisories listed for Milwaukee County. The National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan expects only a small rain chance Friday, followed by a quiet stretch through early next week.

Sunny Weekend Weather Keeps Plans Simple

Saturday looks like the weekend standout, with sunshine and east winds around 5 mph; weekend highs are forecast in the mid to upper 60s. Saturday night will be partly cloudy with a low near 53, while Sunday brings partly sunny skies and a high near 66.

Monday should be the mildest day of the stretch, reaching about 68 degrees under sunny skies. Winds will remain light through the weekend and Monday, making outdoor plans across Milwaukee and the lakefront relatively easy to manage.

Rain Chances Return Tuesday Night

The pattern turns more unsettled Tuesday, when mostly sunny skies give way to a 30% chance of rain showers after 1 p.m. Rain showers become more likely Tuesday night, with a 60% chance and a low around 59.

Rain chances continue Wednesday, with highs near 70°F. The National Weather Service discussion gives broad rain chances of 30% to 50% for Wednesday and later. The shift to a wetter midweek forecast is a notable update from Hoodline's earlier lakefront forecast, which focused on fading shoreline hazards.
