Milwaukee, WI – Southeastern Wisconsin is stepping into October with a welcome dose of sunshine, keeping roads clear and skies bright through Saturday. Drivers on I-94 and I-43 should expect smooth commutes this week as steady, calm weather dominates the region.
According to the National Weather Service, Tuesday begins sunny with a high near 73, followed by partly cloudy skies Tuesday night with lows in the lower 60s. Winds remain light, shifting northeast in the morning and turning east overnight, keeping conditions calm for both travelers and outdoor plans.
Wednesday marks the first day of October with a cooler high near 69 under partly sunny skies. By Thursday, sunshine returns as highs rise to the low 70s, supported by light southeast winds. Friday pushes even warmer with highs near 82 and dry conditions extending across Milwaukee County and nearby suburbs including Wauwatosa, Brookfield, and Cudahy.
The warmest day of the week arrives Saturday, when highs climb into the low 80s under full sun. Outdoor events, yard work, and fall festivals will benefit from dry air and clear visibility. Still, residents should stay alert for early-morning fog pockets that may form briefly near Lake Michigan.
