MILWAUKEE, WI – A thin veil of low clouds drifted across Lake Michigan early Saturday, glinting silver in the pre-dawn lights of the Hoan Bridge. The chill in the air carried a trace of moisture — a signal of the brief, spotty showers passing through southeast Wisconsin this morning before skies clear for a sunny and pleasant Sunday.
According to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee, a few scattered sprinkles are expected between 9 and 10 a.m., tapering by midday. Skies stay mostly cloudy with highs near 52°F. Winds will shift southeast this afternoon at 5 to 10 mph, keeping air near the lake feeling cool but calm. Any drizzle fades by evening, setting up a tranquil night around 45°F.
Sunday will be a picture-perfect fall day — sunny skies, light winds, and highs in the upper 50s. It’s an ideal setup for outdoor cleanup, pumpkin patches, or early trick-or-treat decorating. Monday remains bright with highs around 54°F, extending the pleasant stretch before another round of light showers approaches late Tuesday.
Rain chances rise slightly midweek, though no major systems are expected. Temperatures hold steady in the 50s through Halloween, with early signs of a colder November pattern emerging in long-range models.
For now, Milwaukeeans can enjoy a mild weekend reprieve — crisp mornings, sunny afternoons, and just enough chill to remind us winter isn’t far away.
After all, a chilly November lies ahead — and this calm stretch may be the last warm invitation before it settles in.
