Wisconsin, Milwaukee – Frost clings to windshields and breath hangs in the air as temperatures sit in the mid-20s this morning, setting up a quick thaw by afternoon and another refreeze risk tonight.
Skies stay sunny today with highs climbing to 46. Southwest winds increase to 10 mph, helping melt snow piles and dampen pavement. According to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee, temperatures fall back to around 30 tonight with patchy fog developing before dawn Saturday.
Drivers along I-94, I-43 and Highway 41 should watch for slick bridges early Saturday. This is prime February flash-freeze territory. Meltwater during the day can refreeze once readings dip near 30, especially on untreated overpasses.
Saturday stays partly sunny with a high near 41 after early fog clears. Clouds decrease Saturday night with lows around 32. Sunday turns bright again with highs near 46 and light west winds, ideal for outdoor plans but still brisk after sunset.
President’s Day Monday brings a noticeable thaw. Highs reach 52 under mostly sunny skies. Tuesday cools slightly to 47 with partial sunshine, but the bigger story develops midweek.
Rain becomes likely Tuesday night into Wednesday with highs near 51. By Thursday, a rain-snow mix is possible with highs around 39. Any shift toward 32 degrees could create slushy or icy patches, so monitor updates closely.
The 6- to 10-day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across Wisconsin, signaling early spring vibes into late next week.

Today: Sunny, high 46.
