Milwaukee, WI – Residents across southeast Wisconsin can expect a mild, dry weekend as a high-pressure system maintains calm weather across the region. However, conditions are set to change by Monday as temperatures rise, bringing gusty winds and potential rain into early next week.
According to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee, clear skies and sunshine will dominate the weekend, with temperatures reaching the mid-50s on Saturday and climbing to the low 60s on Sunday. Winds will shift from north to south, reaching speeds up to 30 mph by Monday, primarily along the I-94 corridor. The shift will bring unseasonably warm air and increase humidity, setting the stage for potential thunderstorms later in the week.
Monday’s forecast indicates a slight chance of rain, mainly north of Madison and Kenosha, with stronger chances expected on Wednesday. Gusty conditions could make travel challenging on Monday and Tuesday, particularly on exposed roadways like I-94 and Highway 41. Residents planning outdoor activities are advised to secure loose items and exercise caution while traveling, especially in areas prone to strong wind gusts.
By Wednesday, a more significant rain system is forecasted to sweep through the area, bringing widespread showers and the possibility of thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. Temperatures are expected to peak around 75°F on Tuesday before dropping to the 60s as cooler air arrives behind the storm.
With rain and potential storms on the horizon, Wisconsin residents should monitor weather updates closely. As conditions change rapidly, the National Weather Service advises staying alert for any weather advisories or warnings through midweek.
