Milwaukee, WI — Warm and dry weather will dominate the Milwaukee area this week, with highs reaching the mid-80s through Thursday. Residents can expect clear skies and dry conditions, with no rain anticipated until the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan, temperatures will stay in the mid to upper 80s until Friday. A slight chance of showers returns Saturday evening. The extended dry period raises concerns about potential drought development, as rain has been sparse in recent weeks. Local farmers should take note, especially with the Supermoon eclipse on Tuesday, which might draw attention away from daily routines.
The partial lunar eclipse begins at 8:41 p.m. on Tuesday, with the peak occurring at 10:44 p.m. when the Moon’s upper edge enters Earth’s shadow. Only 8% of the Moon will be covered, but the event should be visible under the largely clear skies.
As temperatures rise and rainfall remains minimal, residents are advised to remain hydrated and avoid outdoor burning, as fire hazards may increase. Keep an eye on weekend forecasts for potential storm updates.
Prepare for hot days ahead, and don’t miss Tuesday night’s Supermoon eclipse visible across Wisconsin.
