Today: A low-pressure system that’s been centered over Minnesota begins propagating east, bringing shower chances through much Wednesday. Temperatures look to be in the mid 50s in the early hours of the day as overcast clouds cover the sky. Due to the system moving in rain chances appear early morning, though most probable beginning around 9 a.m. and continuing throughout the day. Rain totals look to accumulate between a quarter inch to half an inch. A high temperature around 56 degrees is expected as a lake breeze from the northeast impacts the Milwaukee area. Winds remain relatively calm through the day, though may gust up to 10 mph.
Tonight: Into the evening hours, rain chances look to simmer and become isolated around 11 p.m. Overcast skies continue, inhibiting temperatures to drop significantly. Winds remain calm as temperatures remain in the lower 50s overnight.
Tomorrow: Overcast skies persist into the morning, but we may see some sunshine peek through in the late morning/early afternoon. A minor upper air disturbance may bring the very slight chance of more rain during the day, but looking to be unlikely. Clouds continue to dominate the area, however sunshine may peak through at times throughout the day. A morning low occurs near the lower 50s, as high temperatures look to reach the mid 60s.
Extended Forecast (Friday-Sunday): Low pressure continues making its way out of our area, as high pressure follows behind it. On Friday, chances for rain return similar to Thursday due to another upper air disturbance. Showers with moderate rain and maybe some isolated rumbles of thunder can’t be ruled out. Temperatures continue on a warming trend, reaching the low 70s on Friday and falling to the mid 50s overnight as a cold front approaches for the weekend. Rain looks to stay off the radar as sunny skies build in for the weekend, where high pressure builds into the region. Temperatures look to be in the mid 60s through the weekend with a lake breeze kicking in both nights, causing temperatures to fall into the lower 50s.
