Milwaukee is starting Monday with clear skies, a crisp 48 degrees and a forecast that looks more like classic early fall than anything dramatic. Sunshine should push temperatures toward 61 this afternoon, with no rain expected and light northeast winds keeping the day comfortable.

The National Weather Service says skies will remain mostly clear Monday night as temperatures dip to around 49 degrees. Patchy frost remains possible in colder valleys and low-lying spots, though the city and lakeshore should be less prone to the chill.

Tuesday Turns Warmer And Windier

Tuesday brings a noticeable warm-up, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 70. South winds of 5 to 15 mph could gust as high as 30 mph, so lakefront walkers, cyclists and anyone with an unsecured patio setup may get a reminder that fall weather can still throw its weight around.

Tuesday night will be partly cloudy with a low around 55, while Wednesday stays sunny and mild near 70. No major weather hazards are expected across the area this week, and rain chances remain close to zero through Wednesday.

Mostly Sunny Weather Holds Through The Weekend

Thursday and Friday look a little cooler but still pleasant, with mostly sunny skies and highs near 64 and 63. Saturday should reach about 65 under sunny skies before another mild push lifts Sunday’s high to around 70.

Overall, Milwaukee is lining up for a mostly dry week with cool nights, sunny afternoons and one blustery Tuesday in the middle. An extra layer will help early in the day, but the forecast is otherwise friendly to commutes, errands and outdoor plans.
