Friday, July 25:
Friday will be warm and humid across Milwaukee, with highs reaching mid to upper 80s and dew points lingering near 70. A weak frontal boundary will remain just south of the state line, keeping most of the area dry through the morning and early afternoon. However, with plenty of moisture and some instability, there’s a chance for isolated showers to develop later in the day, especially near the Illinois border. Winds will be light out of the east around 5-10 mph. Most of the activity should remain isolated, and the majority of Milwaukee may stay dry through the day and into Friday night.
Friday Night:
Low pressure begins pushing northeast out of Illinois, bringing scattered showers and a chance of thunderstorms mainly after midnight. Nothing widespread, but if you’re near the state line, keep an eye on the radar. It’ll be another sticky night with lows near 70°F and light southeast winds.
Saturday, July 26:
Saturday looks unsettled but not a washout. As the warm sector of that slides northward, we’ll be in line for more organized showers and thunderstorms especially from mid-morning into the afternoon. If enough instability builds, a few storms could be on the stronger side with brief gusty winds or small hail. Temps should still reach the low to mid-80s despite the clouds, and southerly winds will increase to 10-15 mph. Expect a muggy, summer feel.
Saturday Night:
Storms taper off after sunset as the low exits and a ridge starts building in. It won’t clear out entirely, but the night looks quieter. Lows dip into the upper 60s with a light breeze turning southwest.
Sunday, July 27:
Sunday turns hot again as high pressure strengthens to our south and southwest flow takes hold. Skies will be partly to mostly sunny, and temperatures climb quickly, expect highs in the upper 80s to near 90°F. With dew points back near 70°F, it’ll feel like the mid-90s at times. Winds from the southwest at 10-15 mph will offer little relief. Storm chances remain low, but an isolated pop-up storm can’t be ruled out in the late afternoon.
Monday, July 28:
Even hotter. Monday’s shaping up to be a steamy one, with highs near 90°F and dew points remaining oppressive. Heat indices could push into the mid to upper 90s, so this may be the kind of day where a Heat Advisory gets tossed around. Winds remain breezy out of the southwest at 15-20 mph with gusts to 25. A few scattered storms are possible late in the day, but widespread rainfall is unlikely.
Tuesday, July 29:
Tuesday brings a bit of a shift. A passing front will knock temps down a few degrees and bring a better chance for scattered showers and storms, mainly in the afternoon. Highs top out around 83°F with lower humidity slowly working in behind the front. Winds will shift west-northwest around 10-15 mph, offering a bit of fresh air to wrap up the stretch.
