Milwaukee, WI – Wisconsin is waking up to a damp chill this morning, and the state’s first brush with early November snow could appear before day’s end. A Hazardous Weather Outlook from the National Weather Service warns that a few light snowflakes may mix with rain showers west of Madison later today, though no accumulation is expected. Still, slick spots and wet roads could slow Friday evening travel across southern and eastern counties.
Skies stay mostly cloudy across Milwaukee and Lake Country with temperatures topping out near 51°F. Scattered rain is likely this afternoon, becoming more widespread late in the day before tapering by dawn Saturday. Winds from the northwest around 10 mph will keep conditions brisk and damp through the evening.
Saturday brings gradual improvement, with partly sunny skies developing and highs near 48°F. Cooler air settles in by nightfall, and patchy fog could form in low-lying areas before Sunday morning. Sunday itself turns noticeably drier and calmer, with sunshine returning and highs climbing into the low 50s — ideal for late fall yardwork or early decorating before the next cold surge.
Looking ahead, Monday and Tuesday warm briefly into the upper 50s before another push of colder air arrives midweek. While Wisconsin won’t see accumulating snow just yet, forecasters note these early flurries are a clear signal: winter’s approach is now more than just a hint on the horizon.
