Wisconsin – A mild breeze and damp air are building across Milwaukee this morning, and roads will turn slick as showers move in through the day. Drivers along I-94 and I-43 should prepare for changing conditions by midday.
According to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee, showers develop mainly after early afternoon with precipitation chances near 70%. Highs reach around 50°F before colder air begins moving in. Winds increase through the day, adding a brisk edge and pushing rain bands inland from Lake Michigan.
Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, and West Allis will see the steadiest showers during the afternoon and early evening hours. Expect wet pavement and reduced visibility, especially along the lakefront and elevated roadways. Plan extra time and keep headlights on during heavier bursts.
Conditions shift quickly by Friday as temperatures drop into the upper 20s early, then climb near 40°F during the day. A chance of snow showers develops by early afternoon, with brief bursts possible. While accumulation stays light, visibility may dip and create slick patches on untreated roads.
By Friday night, skies begin to clear and temperatures fall sharply to around 25°F. Any leftover moisture could refreeze, increasing the risk of black ice on bridges and side streets. Use caution during early morning travel.
Saturday brings sunshine with highs near 46°F, followed by a warmer push into the upper 50s by Sunday. Early next week continues the spring trend, with highs nearing 60°F and periodic rain chances returning.
