Trend: Multiple clipper systems will move through during the middle of the week dropping rain showers and temperatures. However, this will be brief as a weekend warm up is in store. Finally, a nice weekend will come and end before be becoming unsettled and warmer by next week.
Today: Wednesday looks to be an up and down weather day across the Milwaukee area. Overnight rain showers will exit the area by the mid morning as temperatures rise through the 30’s and 40’s with overcast conditions. Winds will be from the south around 15-20 mph sustained and gusts could approach 40 mph. By the late morning and into the afternoon skies will clear quickly leaving the area with plentiful sunshine. A warm front will be moving through the area throughout the late afternoon which will make temperatures skyrocket into the low 60’s for a daytime high. By the evening clouds will begin to slowly fill back in over Milwaukee as a cold front begins to approach. Ahead of this front will be occupied by a band of rain showers. Showers will start to move in around 10 p.m.and last throughout the night.
Overnight: Overcast skies with a 90% chance of light to moderate rain showers will move through Milwaukee during the overnight hours. Winds from the south will turn to the west overnight and decrease to around 10 mph. Temperatures will cool into the mid 40’s for an overnight low with showers ending around 5 a.m. leaving the area with overcast conditions. New rain fall amounts will range between a tenth to a quarter of an inch.
Tomorrow: Thursday will be a replay of Wednesday weatherwise across the Milwaukee area. Thursday morning bright sunshine will fill the skies with temperatures rising through the mid and upper 40’s and winds west around 10-15 mph sustained. Sunshine will persist through the early afternoon as temperatures top out in the mid 50’s for a day time high. Winds will continue from the west with speeds staying consistent. By late afternoon clouds will begin to fill back in ahead of a weaker cold front approaching from the northwest. This again will bring another 90% chance of some heavier showers to the area through the evening and overnight hours. New precipitation amounts should be anywhere between three quarters of an inch to one inch. Winds will turn to the north-northest and calm to around 5 mph with the passing of the front. Temperatures will fall into the upper 30’s for a low with showers ending by early Friday morning.
Extended: A dramatic warm up will be stored over the course of the weekend. Friday and Saturday will be the nicer days out of the weekend because of a dome of high pressure which will center itself right over Lake Michigan. This high pressure system will move in Friday morning and exit Saturday night. Because of this weathermaker Friday will feature partly cloudy skies with intermittent sunshine as high temperatures seek the upper 40’s with winds northeast around 5 mph. Saturday will have plentiful sunshine so temperatures will warm a bit more with highs hovering around 50℉. Saturday night is when winds will change to south which will draw in some really warm air. High temperatures Sunday could make a run at 70 degrees with gusty south winds around 20 mph. This is ahead of a strong low pressure system which will arrive through the early part of next week.
