Milwaukee can expect mostly cloudy skies Friday, with light and variable winds inland and an easterly lake breeze. Highs should reach the middle 50s to lower 60s, before rain chances return.

Friday's Forecast

Mostly cloudy skies will carry Milwaukee through the afternoon, with light and variable winds inland and an easterly lake breeze. Scattered showers are expected to spread west to east this evening, with coverage increasing Friday night.

Friday night will stay mild for late October, with a low near 47. Friday evening, areas west and south of Milwaukee have a 30% to 50% chance of rain. Early evening Halloween events should avoid the wettest weather, though anyone staying out late may want a jacket that can handle a sprinkle.

Halloween Could Be Cloudy And Damp

Southeast winds will run 5 to 10 mph, and passing showers could still interrupt trick-or-treating or outdoor events.

Showers should taper Saturday night, with a low around 50. Sunday looks milder but mostly cloudy, reaching about 62 degrees with only a small chance of rain.

Wetter Pattern Builds Next Week

Rain chances rise again Monday, especially after noon, with highs in the upper 60s and a 50% chance of showers. Showers are likely Monday night and Tuesday, when Milwaukee could reach 64 degrees; Wednesday and Thursday remain unsettled with additional shower chances and cooler highs in the upper 50s and low 60s.
