Milwaukee, WI – A chilly night awaits as Wisconsin braces for a risk of frost late Thursday night into early Friday. Residents should stay alert, as the National Weather Service has warned of conditions that could lead to frost, especially for areas south of Milwaukee. With temperatures set to drop into the 30s, the state could see patchy frost, and a Frost Advisory may be issued by local authorities. This will affect farmers and gardeners who should take precautions by covering sensitive plants or bringing them indoors.
According to the NWS, Thursday night will see clear skies with a low near 38°F, but a cold front from the north will usher in northeast winds at 5 to 10 mph. These winds are expected to pick up overnight, and a dip in temperature could cause frost formation in many parts of southeast Wisconsin. If you have outdoor plants or crops, now’s the time to act. The NWS recommends bringing plants inside or covering them with cloth to prevent damage.
Looking ahead to the weekend, temperatures will rise again, providing much-needed sunshine. Friday will feature mostly sunny skies with highs climbing into the low 60s, and the sunny weather will persist through Saturday, with temperatures near 67°F. The warm trend will continue into Mother’s Day on Sunday, with highs reaching 69°F. While sunshine will dominate, clear skies will return each night with lows in the 40s.
The next few days offer a pleasant break after the frosty risk, but prepare for cooler mornings on Friday and Saturday. Make sure to check for any updates from local weather offices regarding Frost Advisories as temperatures dip Thursday night.
