Milwaukee is starting Tuesday with clear skies and temperatures in the mid-to-upper 30s, but the city is headed for one more mild, sunny day before a wetter and windier turn. The high should reach near 60 degrees, making Tuesday the week’s best bet for comfortable outdoor plans.
Sunny Tuesday Gives Way To Veterans Day Showers
Tuesday should stay dry and sunny, with northwest winds around 5 to 10 mph and temperatures easing through the 50s late in the day. The National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan office expects mostly cloudy skies Tuesday night, with a low near 41 and a slight chance of light rain early Wednesday morning.
Veterans Day on Wednesday brings a 40% chance of rain, partly sunny skies and a high near 53. Rainfall should remain light, with less than a tenth of an inch possible.
The updated timing sharpens the colder turn outlined in an earlier Hoodline forecast, especially from Wednesday night through Friday.
Thursday Brings Stronger Winds And Possible Flurries
Thursday looks like the roughest day for outdoor plans, with a chance of rain before noon followed by partly sunny skies. North winds of 20 to 25 mph could gust near 40 mph Thursday into Thursday night, while the high reaches near 46.
Thursday night will turn colder, with a low around 31 and a chance for lake-effect rain showers in far southeastern Wisconsin. A few snowflakes could mix in near the lake and into Friday morning, but forecasters are not expecting accumulating snow.
Sunny Weekend Offers A Reset
Friday should be mostly sunny but chilly, with a high near 43 and a low around 29 Friday night. The weekend then settles down: Saturday is forecast to be sunny near 46, Sunday mostly sunny near 51 and Monday mostly sunny near 50.
