Milwaukee is starting Thursday near 48 degrees under clear skies, with calm conditions and a little patchy fog expected through the morning. The fog should lift by 9 a.m., making way for a sunny day and a high near 67 degrees.

Foggy Start Gives Way To A Sunny Thursday

Light onshore winds may leave areas near Lake Michigan a touch cooler. Rain is not expected, so a light jacket for the morning and sunglasses for the afternoon should cover most plans.

The dry stretch continues Friday through Sunday, with mostly sunny skies Friday and Saturday and a partly sunny Sunday. Highs should reach about 66 degrees Friday, 67 Saturday and 70 Sunday, while overnight lows stay mostly in the upper 40s and lower 50s.

Clouds And Low Rain Chances Return Next Week

Monday brings more clouds and a cooler high near 59 degrees before a slight chance of showers arrives after 7 p.m. Tuesday brings a 30% chance of rain and a high near 57 degrees.

Wednesday is expected to be mostly cloudy, with a high near 58. The National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan says the broader pattern remains warmer and drier than normal through the weekend, with no active watches or warnings listed for Wisconsin or Lake Michigan.

The forecast continues the mild pattern in Hoodline's earlier outlook, with mild, dry weather through the weekend.
