Milwaukee is starting Saturday near 50 degrees, with patchy fog reported in parts of southern Wisconsin early this morning. The forecast calls for a mix of sunshine and high clouds, with temperatures in the mid to upper 60s and no rain expected.

Sunny Saturday Gives Way To A Quiet Weekend

According to the National Weather Service, east winds will run 5 to 10 mph this afternoon, with Saturday night temperatures around 50 degrees. Saturday night into Sunday morning has a 10 to 15 percent chance of a stray shower, mainly west of a Janesville-to-Green Lake line. Sunday otherwise stays mild, with partly sunny skies and a high near 66.

Monday Stays Comfortable Before Rain Moves In

Monday looks like the week’s best outdoor bet: sunny, light winds and a high near 68, followed by a low around 53 as clouds increase. Tuesday should remain mostly sunny during the day, warming to about 69, as rain chances build west to east through Tuesday.

Showers Become The Main Story Midweek

Rain showers are likely Tuesday night, with a 60% chance of precipitation. Some rain could linger into Wednesday morning, but the forecast from midday Wednesday onward is highly uncertain, including whether southern Wisconsin will be affected. Thursday keeps a 50% chance of showers, while Friday looks somewhat drier but still carries a 30% rain chance and a high near 64.

For Saturday plans, the main nuisance is the early fog; after that, light winds and dry weather should make for an easy day around town. No weather alerts are in effect for Milwaukee County.
