Cooler temperatures and a stretch of wet weather are set to hit southeastern Wisconsin this weekend, with an early frost advisory in place for the coming week. Highs will drop below normal by Monday, with the potential for freezing overnight temperatures on Monday and Tuesday. Residents along the I-94 corridor, particularly near Milwaukee, should prepare for brisk conditions and take precautions against frost-sensitive plants.
According to the National Weather Service, rain showers are likely on Sunday, with daytime highs expected to reach only 63°F. Monday’s forecast brings more showers, followed by mostly sunny skies on Tuesday. However, overnight lows on Monday and Tuesday will hover near freezing, making frost a strong possibility for much of the area.
Homeowners are encouraged to protect outdoor plants and consider covering them during the coldest hours. Additionally, motorists should anticipate potentially slick conditions during rain showers on Sunday and early morning frost on Tuesday, which could affect visibility and road safety. Planning extra travel time, especially in rural areas, is advisable.
Drier weather is forecasted to return by mid-week, with temperatures gradually rising. By Wednesday, daytime highs are expected to climb back into the 60s, offering some reprieve from the early-week chill. Despite the colder start, temperatures are projected to be near seasonal averages by the second half of the week.
