Southeast Wisconsin residents should prepare for frost conditions Tuesday night, as temperatures are set to dip to near freezing. A cooler weather pattern begins today with increasing cloud cover and scattered showers, primarily affecting areas along I-94 and east-central Wisconsin.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures will continue to drop, leading to frost potential for the next couple of nights. A freeze is likely Tuesday night as lows are expected to plummet to around 29°F. Residents should take precautions to protect sensitive plants and outdoor equipment.
While daytime highs are expected to stay cool at 53°F today, gradual warming is forecasted mid-week, with temperatures climbing back to the low 70s by Saturday. Sunshine is anticipated starting Wednesday, which will bring some relief and improve outdoor conditions. However, until then, the National Weather Service advises caution, particularly for drivers, as rain could create slick conditions on local roads and highways.
By Thursday, temperatures are projected to rise to the mid-60s, with a further increase into the high 60s by Friday. Although the frost warning is short-term, residents should stay updated with local forecasts as weather patterns can shift. Farmers and gardeners should take proactive steps to cover crops and prevent frost damage over the next few days.
