Milwaukee, WI – Thanksgiving Day in Milwaukee will bring a sunny but brisk forecast, with daytime highs barely reaching 35 degrees. Freezing overnight lows and gusty winds could impact holiday travel, especially along I-94.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures will fall significantly after a mild Wednesday, making Thanksgiving one of the coldest days of the week. Travelers are advised to bundle up and check vehicles for winter readiness, as lows on Thursday night dip to 20 degrees.

Saturday and Sunday will remain sunny but cold, with highs near 26 and 29 degrees, respectively. The dry conditions provide ideal driving weather but increase the risk of frostbite for those exposed to the wind for prolonged periods.
