Milwaukee, Wis. – A wet weather pattern is poised to settle across Wisconsin starting Tuesday evening, bringing multiple rounds of rain and the potential for thunderstorms through Thursday night. Commuters and travelers across the state should prepare for slick roads, reduced visibility, and possible delays.
According to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan, rain is likely to begin late Tuesday, with showers continuing into Wednesday morning and another surge of precipitation expected Thursday into Thursday night. High temperatures will climb into the lower 70s on Wednesday and Thursday across much of the state, though areas near Lake Michigan—including Milwaukee, Racine, and Sheboygan—will remain cooler due to lake breezes.
Cities like Madison, Janesville, and Waukesha could see heavier rainfall late Tuesday, while thunderstorm chances increase during the day Wednesday. Overnight rain may dampen early commutes, and outdoor plans should be adjusted accordingly.
Drivers are urged to slow down during wet periods and allow extra travel time. Keep phones charged and check local DOT updates for any road closures or traffic alerts.
Rain chances taper off Friday, but cooler air will follow. Additional updates are expected midweek as the storm system develops.
