Today: The 5-Day Weather Forecast February 15, 2026, starts with a gorgeous sunrise at 6:45 a.m. with temperatures in the upper-30s. In the morning, winds flow along at 3 mph but pick up to 6 mph in the evening. Despite this, sunshine rules the day, heating Milwaukee to a 55-degree high in the afternoon.
Tonight: Without many clouds in the west, Milwaukee turns gold at 5:30 p.m. with the sunset. As winds gust out of the south, Milwaukee should stay above freezing for the night. Temperatures stay in the high-30s, hitting a low of 39 before Monday.
Tomorrow: The work week starts with fair travel conditions in the morning and evening. Fighting against the gathering clouds, the sun manages to warm Milwaukee further than Sunday, with a high of 58. If the sky contains less clouds than expected, we should see a record-breaking high Monday, stealing the title from a 56-high in 1921. This is mostly due to the entering low pressures, increasing winds significantly to 12 mph from the southwest, with gusts up to 28 mph. Along with the low pressures, some precipitation might be possible, but we should not see anything more than a sprinkle. Like Sunday, Milwaukee falls back into the high-30s for the nightly low.
Tuesday & Wednesday: Precipitation chances spike in the middle of the week, as an intense low-pressure system races across the Great Plains and slams into the Great Lakes later Tuesday. Winds maintain an average of 13 mph, with gusts nearing the 30s throughout Tuesday and Wednesday. This forces the high-30s temperatures to climb during the night Tuesday into Wednesday, possibly topping out in the mid-40s. During the Wednesday morning commute, heavy rain spots frequent the urban area before the system exits to the east. Rain accumulation totals to just below a half inch in rain-heavy models by Wednesday afternoon. Wind calm over Wednesday night, still chilling the area with a freeze though, for a low of 32.
Extended: Looking forward, Thursday holds much uncertainty over the next low-pressure system. Everything depends on the low pressure’s timing and path. Currently, predictions show temperatures in the 40s before a night within the low-30s. All the while, winds intensify into the night, harboring gusts up to 32 mph, especially when the low pressure arrives. Additionally, what presents a problem with this storm is the temperatures, because the precipitation might turn into snow. As usual, Wisconsin rides a figurative “weather roller coaster” in the spring, complete with interesting storms and sudden fluctuations in temperature.
