Today, March 30th: A cool and dreary Sunday in Milwaukee with highs in the mid-40s due to northeasterly winds at 10-20 mph. The South Milwaukee area may briefly reach the 50s-60s, while areas near the Illinois border hit the upper 60s to low 70s. However, if a warm front pushes slightly further north than forecast, Milwaukee could briefly touch 70°. Winds will determine temperatures, with inland areas most likely to see a warm-up. Light showers transition to a chance of evening storms, with a marginal severe risk in the areas with the warmest highs.
In situation one, 70s can be seen in Racine County if the warm front stalls before reaching the city today at 3 p.m.
In situation two, 70s can be seen in Milwaukee County if the warm front pushes to the north of the city today at 3 p.m.
Tonight: Storms exit the region around sunset, with a short break in precipitation expected. Drizzle will begin around 10 p.m. Around midnight, rain will transition into sleet for a short time and then snow shortly after. Very little accumulation for most areas; however, areas with more intense bursts of snow may have a dusting on grassy surfaces. Lows in the upper 20s to around 30 degrees.
Monday: Snow showers ending around rush time Monday morning. Minor accumulations are possible on grassy surfaces in the heaviest snow bands. Winds steady out of the north-northwest at 5-15 mph. Highs in the low 40s.
