As Milwaukee braces for a shift in the weather, residents can expect thunderstorms and a chance of showers starting as early as Sunday night. Thunderstorms are likely by Monday, bringing potential for gusty winds and heavy rainfall. If you’re planning travel or outdoor activities, it’s crucial to prepare for rapidly changing conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, Sunday night’s forecast calls for a slight 20% chance of showers in the Milwaukee area, with temperatures dipping to 46°F. However, by Monday, the risk increases to 30% as scattered showers develop ahead of a larger storm system. Milwaukeeans should be on alert as the temperature climbs to 72°F, with southwest winds gusting up to 25 mph.
Residents should expect unsettled conditions throughout the week. By Monday night, thunderstorms are expected to move in, and the weather could become hazardous. Heavy rainfall may cause localized flooding in some areas, with additional storms carrying the potential for severe weather. Wind gusts could reach 30 mph, making travel difficult, particularly on local roads like I-94 or I-43.
Tuesday’s forecast suggests a slight chance of additional thunderstorms, with temperatures peaking at 68°F. While the rain will taper off, conditions remain damp and breezy, creating an ongoing risk for slick roads and challenging travel, especially near rivers or areas prone to flooding.
Looking ahead, Milwaukee’s weather will remain spring-like with a mix of sunny and rainy days.
