Today: The skies over Milwaukee wake up in a calmer setting. After yesterday’s intense storms, Friday begins with a calmer note though not entirely quiet. The day starts dry, but by the afternoon, isolated thunderstorms could return. Temperatures climb into the upper 70s, and gusty southwest winds pick up late in the morning, reaching speeds of 20 mph by afternoon. With warm air and decent instability still in place, some storms may turn strong to severe, bringing a risk of hail or damaging winds.
Tonight: Storms may linger into the early evening before a cold front pushes through and clears things out. Skies gradually calm, and winds ease slightly, shifting westerly as temperatures fall into the low 50s overnight.
Saturday: High pressure nudges in, drying things out and stabilizing the atmosphere. The day brings a noticeable cooldown compared to earlier in the week. Milwaukee sees partly sunny skies with highs topping out in the upper 60s inland, but a lake breeze keeps lakeside neighborhoods cooler in the upper 50s. Winds turn northerly around 10-15 mph, ushering in that chillier air.
Sunday: Sunday continues the trend of calm and cooler weather. Mostly sunny skies dominate the day, and high pressure remains firmly in control. Expect highs near 66°F well inland, but those staying closer to Lake Michigan will likely remain in the upper 50s thanks to persistent onshore flow. Winds shift easterly around 10 mph.
Monday: Clouds gradually increase as a new weather system approaches from the west. It will still be dry for most of the day, but by evening, scattered showers may begin to creep in. Highs hold in the low 50s, with a southeast wind near 10 to 15 mph. It feels like a transitional day still comfortable, but something’s brewing.
Tuesday: Rain chances increase further as low pressure slowly advances into the Great Lakes. The forecast becomes more unsettled, with showers likely through much of the day. Temperatures dip slightly, with highs in the 50s. Winds shift northeasterly, helping to reinforce the cooler, wetter pattern.
