Overview: Milwaukee’s 5-Day Weather Forecast May 10, 2026, finds a pleasant Mother’s Day morning, but clouds gather with a possible late afternoon drizzle.

Today: Gilded morning skies grant a boost for rising temperatures which peaking at 58 by noon. Then, clouds increase and winds change from west to northeast at 8 mph with gusts topping out at 24 mph. Temperatures drop to the low-50s by the early evening, just in time for some possible drizzles. From 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., the occasional raindrop cannot be ruled out, and if anything drips from the clouds, nothing lasts long.

Tonight: With the sun setting past 8 p.m., Milwaukee might find some warm colors bouncing off the mostly cloudy sky beginning the night. The sun sets though before clear skies and calm winds grace the city. Falling to 45 by 9 p.m., temperatures continue downward to stop at 40 degrees as the work week begins.

Tomorrow: Monday greets morning fog with mostly sunny skies and average winds of 6 mph. Winds stay calm off the lake mostly, gusting only to 16 mph. Due to the direction though, temperatures barely hit 50 before returning to the 30s in the night. Clouds come back in the afternoon and grow in number through the night. As winds shift and clouds gather, a low-pressure system looms in northern Minnesota, waiting for Tuesday to arrive.

Tuesday: Pressure drops and the low enters by noon. Along with this system, temperatures rocket into the mid-60s supported by sustained winds of 15 mph and 40-mph gusts. Showers pass through from 6 a.m. to noon, pause, and possibly begin again after 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. Accumulating to less than a tenth of an inch, these rains should not pose a threat. Temperatures cool to 46 in the night while clouds exit to the east.

Extended: High-pressure dominance comes back mid-week with warmer temperatures and less clouds but gusty winds. Wednesday finds a high in the mid-50s despite strong northwestern winds of 13 mph gusting to 35 mph. As temperatures retreat to the low-40s in the night, clouds decrease for clear skies going into Thursday. Winds settle down a bit, averaging 8 mph with gusts of 25, but clouds increase as well. Thanks to a strengthening low-pressure system traveling across the Plains toward Wisconsin, temperatures hit the high-60s for a high and only reach 52 in the night. Some rain might arrive in the late night, but stay tuned for your updated forecast!
