Wisconsin, Milwaukee – Low clouds hang over the lakefront this morning, and damp air clings to roads as patchy fog lingers in spots north of the city. Visibility can drop quickly in low-lying areas, especially along I-43 and Highway 41. Conditions feel calm now, but changes arrive fast by Sunday afternoon.

According to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan, fog will thin through the morning, giving way to partial sunshine and a high near 68°F today. Winds increase out of the southwest between 10 and 15 mph, setting up a sharp shift by Sunday.

By Sunday afternoon, temperatures fall to near 41°F as colder air pushes in. A 30% chance of rain transitions to a rain-snow mix after 4 p.m., with north winds gusting up to 30 mph. Wet pavement could turn slushy quickly, especially on bridges and overpasses.

Drivers should plan extra time late Sunday. Visibility may drop during bursts of mixed precipitation, and slick spots could develop into early Monday. Keep headlights on and allow extra stopping distance.

Monday stays cold but calmer, with sunshine returning and highs near 41°F. Temperatures dip near freezing by early Tuesday morning, raising a small risk for patchy icy spots where moisture lingers.

By Tuesday, a rebound begins. Highs climb into the low 50s under mostly cloudy skies, with a gradual warming trend continuing into midweek.

This early spring pattern keeps shifting, and additional updates are possible if precipitation trends increase. Are you seeing snow mix or just rain in your area?
