Today: The warming trend continues for the week, as southerly winds cater above average temperatures in Milwaukee. While the last bit of summer holds on for a tad longer, cloudy skies will dominate the day due to an upper air disturbance moving into our area. As temperatures warm from the low 60s into the 70s, with 74 being the high for the day, breezier winds can be expected until that disturbance hits. Winds will shift from the south to southeasterly by mid-day, preventing temperatures to warm as much along the lake.
Tonight: By evening, the upper air disturbance will make an appearance bringing light, isolated showers across southeastern Wisconsin. Milwaukee may see some showers around the city, included with the slight potential of hearing some thunder with them. The system will continue to impact the area through the rest of the day, with winds calming and temperatures cooling into the low 60s.
Tomorrow: High pressure begins to be the main driver behind our weather beginning Wednesday. Showers clear by daybreak tomorrow, with overcast skies clearing throughout the day. Southeast winds continue to cause a lake breeze for areas along the lake, as temperatures warm to a high of 76 for the day. As the night settles, mostly clear skies will set the tone for the evening as a cold front passes Milwaukee to bring our low to 59 degrees.
Extended Forecast: Sunny skies and warm weather dominates through the rest of the week with the warming trend continuing. Thursday is expected to be mostly sunny with highs in the lower 70s and lows falling near 60 degrees. On Friday we see a bit of warmer temps before our next system begins to make an impact to our nicer weather. Highs are expected to reach 77 with a chance of showers and storms impacting Milwaukee during the overnight hours. On Saturday, we’ll likely see some on-and-off rain showers and a few storms throughout the day with summer-like temperatures returning for one last hoorah before autumn takes over.
