Milwaukee, WI – Residents in Milwaukee should prepare for a dynamic weather shift this weekend, starting with cool, dry conditions and ending with significant rain and thunderstorms by Sunday night. This Friday and Saturday offer a brief period of sunshine and moderate temperatures, but the forecast indicates a drastic change as the weekend progresses.
According to the National Weather Service, high pressure will maintain cooler, clear skies over Milwaukee through Saturday. However, by Sunday evening, a weather front is expected to bring widespread rainfall across southern Wisconsin, lasting into Tuesday. This multi-day storm event could produce rainfall amounts ranging from one to two inches in some areas, raising the risk of flooding and challenging driving conditions, especially on major routes such as I-94 and local highways.
Saturday will see high temperatures around 55 degrees, ideal for outdoor activities before the rain begins. On Sunday, the temperature will climb to the low 60s, accompanied by a 100% chance of rain starting in the evening. Storms may become severe, with gusty winds and heavy downpours expected throughout Monday, posing potential hazards for morning commuters.
By Monday night, the rain is forecasted to continue, with temperatures dropping into the mid-50s. Rainfall is projected to persist into Tuesday, bringing additional showers that may contribute to already saturated ground conditions. Those with outdoor plans should prepare for possible weather delays and monitor updates for any changes in storm intensity or timing.
As the weather evolves, residents are encouraged to check the latest forecasts and heed any advisories from local authorities.
