Today: A hot, muggy day affects Milwaukee, with morning temperatures starting in the mid-80’s, eventually climbing into the lower 90’s as the afternoon nears. An extreme heat warning for the Milwaukee area has been issued by the National Weather Service (NWS), so be sure to stay out of the sun and drink lots of fluids. Despite the mugginess, the skies will remain clear for most of the day, until a cold front approaches around the evening hours. Winds today will be intense, with gusts up to 30 miles an hour.
Tonight: Winds from the northwest push a cold front along the state, hovering over Milwaukee. Temperatures are expected to drop into the mid-70s, and scattered showers with isolated thunderstorms are expected around midnight. The largest threat with this line of rain would be strong winds.
Tomorrow: Tuesday begins with scattered showers brought by the cold front in the early hours of the morning. As the cold front sets in, the temperature drops to the upper 60s to low 70s. These showers are expected to taper off as the day progresses, but pick up again in the late afternoon. As these showers slow midday, the temperature will sit in the low 80s, eventually swinging back to the 70’s as night cools and the rain starts back up again.
Extended: More rain chances are expected to persist throughout the week. The upcoming days will finally bring relief from the heat with temperatures varying in the 70s. Each day consists of rain chances, yet low confidence remains on timing. The next system looks to appear by the end of the week, bringing stronger certainty on rain.
