Milwaukee is waking Monday near 38 degrees under mostly clear skies, but the city is headed for a mild two-day run. Afternoon temperatures should reach 57 Monday and 59 Tuesday before a colder, windier pattern arrives around Veterans Day.
Warm And Mostly Dry Through Tuesday
Monday will be partly sunny with a southwest breeze building to around 10 mph, while Tuesday brings mostly sunny skies and another mild afternoon. Temperatures may reach near 60 Tuesday afternoon, but rain is not expected through Tuesday night. Overnight lows should settle near 42 Monday night and 40 Tuesday night.
Veterans Day Brings Showers
Wednesday turns noticeably less settled, with partly sunny skies, a high near 53 and a 50% chance of rain showers. The latest National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan forecast calls for north winds to build Wednesday night, with a low around 37 and additional shower chances.
Thursday Looks Windy, With Snowflakes Possible
Thursday appears to be the toughest day for outdoor plans, with rain chances generally around 20% to 50% at times, a high near 46 and north winds of 20 to 25 mph that could gust to 35 mph. Rain may mix with or change to light snow Thursday night, with shoreline temperatures bottoming out in the mid 30s Thursday evening into Friday morning, followed by a slight chance of snow before noon Friday. Forecasters are not currently calling for accumulating snow.
Monday and Tuesday offer the best window for outdoor plans before the late-week chill arrives, especially near the lakefront where the wind may feel sharper. This is a substantive update to the earlier Hoodline forecast, with stronger rain and wind chances now outlined for Wednesday through Friday. Drier weather is expected to return Saturday and Sunday, with highs near 46 and 51.
