Today: The 5-Day Weather Forecast December 7, 2025 begins in a Winter Weather Advisory issued by NOAA. The advisory warns of some high snowfall rates, thus semi-low visibility and slippery road conditions. Compounding the issue, wind gusts whip through on the cold front while snow departs, gusting up to 24 mph. Everything begins to calm as the day progresses past noon, with snow gone and winds slowing. Temperatures might even see 25 before the day ends around 4:15 p.m. with a vibrantly orange sunset.
Tonight: Despite the influx of cold air, winds turn to come from off the lake, potentially inducing lake effect snow for the Milwaukee, Racine, and Kenosha counties. Snow only accumulates to less than a quarter inch in Milwaukee, but snowfall totals might be higher to the south. Polar air fights the warmer lake-air during the night, sending temperatures back into the mid-teens, to 14.
Tomorrow: Starting the work week, snowflakes float about on an 8-mph wind. Constantly changing throughout the day, the wind later pushes in from the southwest. This influences the temperatures to reach the mid-20s again and continue within the 20s for the night. While pressures increase as a storm system enters northern Wisconsin, these gusts increase to 30 mph before the night ends. Snowfall accumulations near Milwaukee up to a half inch of snow are only the beginning of this system’s fury.
Tuesday: The following storm system is called an Alberta Clipper, dubbed as such thanks to its province of origin: Alberta, Canada. It is expected to be weaker than most, but it will definitely create hazardous conditions within Wisconsin. As the weak low-pressure system from Monday leaves for Michigan, the Clipper follows close behind. A warm front of southern winds gush up into Milwaukee, sending temperatures into the high 30s. Precipitation arrives on the winds, ice and rain mainly. Snow in the yard turns slushy and roads sheen with rain for the rest of Thursday. After the Clipper’s center passes overhead, things change again. On the backside of this system, a cold front follows through to deliver the final blow to Milwaukee in the last hours of Tuesday night.
Extended: Polar air rushes down and freezes the streets and air. Travel conditions might become poor on Wednesday as rain and slush revert back to ice. Keep up to date with your local alerts and stay safe. Winds should die down later on Wednesday, but snow flurries will linger until the onset of night. Temperatures will have been steadily decreasing behind the storm and will finally rest within the mid-teens going into Thursday. Clouds continue Thursday and temperatures chill even further, but winds calm slightly. Finally, Jack Frost will have a grip on the upper Midwest, as models show a possible break into the negatives Thursday night.
