Milwaukee is forecast to have patchy fog Saturday morning and a high of 66 degrees. The weekend is expected to be mild and mostly dry across the city.
Fog Fades As Saturday Warms Up
South winds are forecast Saturday at about 7 mph. As general Great Lakes context, the National Weather Service's Gaylord office says lake breezes can leave lakeshores cooler than inland areas.
Sunday Brings The Weekend’s Warmest Weather
Sunday looks like the standout day, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 70 degrees. Winds will be light from the south, making it the better pick for outdoor plans before cooler air moves in.
Cooler Start To Next Week, Brief Midweek Warmup
Monday turns mostly cloudy and breezier, with northeast winds of 10 to 15 mph and a high near 59 degrees. Tuesday is forecast to have a high near 57 degrees.

Records And Longer-Term Climate Context
The Wisconsin State Climatology Office lists Milwaukee's Oct. 24 record high as 82 degrees, set in 2023, and its normal high as 58 degrees. For a broader time frame, the Wisconsin Initiative on Climate Change Impacts says its studies project that Wisconsin is likely to become much warmer over the next few decades. That statewide, long-term projection does not provide a specific fall-temperature comparison here or explain this weekend's forecast.
