Milwaukee, WI – As Southern Wisconsin enjoys a quiet few days of warm weather, storm chances are set to increase by Thursday evening, potentially disrupting weekend plans. Clear skies tonight offer a rare opportunity to view a partial lunar eclipse, beginning at 8:41 p.m. EST. The supermoon event will peak around midnight and conclude at 12:47 a.m. EST on Wednesday morning.
According to the National Weather Service, a shift in the weather pattern will bring cooler temperatures and a 40% chance of showers and storms starting Thursday night. While the beginning of the week remains dry, a cold front will arrive, causing temperatures to drop from the mid-80s to the mid-70s by the weekend. The heaviest rain chances are expected Friday through Sunday, with storm activity persisting into early next week.
Milwaukee residents eager to catch tonight’s celestial event should take advantage of the clear skies while they last, as cloud cover and potential storms later in the week could obscure any remaining views. Outdoor plans for the weekend should be made cautiously as storm systems could bring interruptions.
