Today: Milwaukee starts the day off with mild temperatures a chance for some storms in the early morning, showers possible into the late morning. As a warm front lifts north, we’ll reach highs in the upper 60s to low 70s inland. Closer to the lake, expect possibly cooler highs. While parts of the day remain dry, conditions become more unsettled by mid to late afternoon. A cold front moving through the region may trigger a few thunderstorms in the late afternoon/evening. The Storm Prediction Center has assessed a slight chance of severe weather through Friday. If storms manage to develop, they could pack gusty winds and large hail, while an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. It is possible that persistent rain showers continue throughout the night.
Tonight: Any lingering showers or isolated storms will taper off overnight as the front pushes east. Skies begin to clear slightly, with temperatures dropping into the upper 40s downtown and low to mid 40s inland. Winds will shift west to northwest behind the front at 10–15 mph, ushering in drier and cooler air.
Tomorrow: Expect a quieter and cooler day to settle in across Milwaukee. Mostly sunny skies will dominate early before clouds increase by afternoon. Temperatures rebound into the mid 50s downtown, and potentially closer to 60°F inland. North winds around 10 mph will keep it brisk, especially near the lakefront. All in all, a pleasant spring Saturday is in store.
