Milwaukee, WI – Temperatures are on the rise across Wisconsin this weekend, but residents should prepare for wet and windy conditions heading into the new week.
According to the National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan, highs will reach the 60s well inland from Lake Michigan on Saturday and Sunday. However, scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to develop Saturday night and continue through Sunday, potentially disrupting outdoor plans across the region.
A strong cold front is forecast to move through the state early Monday, bringing gusty winds and a sharp drop in temperatures. Lakeshore communities, including Milwaukee, will see highs remain closer to the 50s through the weekend before the cooldown intensifies into Tuesday.
Drivers should exercise caution during the Monday morning commute due to possible slick roads and reduced visibility from wind-driven rain. Residents are encouraged to secure outdoor items and monitor local alerts for potential weather advisories.
The weekend’s warmup is a brief departure from typical April weather, and the approaching cold front may bring conditions more in line with seasonal averages. Stay updated via the National Weather Service and local emergency channels for real-time alerts and preparedness tips.
