Milwaukee, Wisconsin – Saturday storms could dampen weekend plans in Milwaukee, with smoke lingering and roads slick from late-afternoon showers. The good news? A run of sunny, summer-like weather is on tap beginning Sunday.
According to the National Weather Service, a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms will develop after 4 p.m. Saturday, especially along I-94 and nearby routes. Highs will only reach 60°F, and patchy smoke—drifting south from Canadian wildfires—will remain in the air through Saturday evening. Winds from the north will range from 5 to 10 mph.
Sunday marks a major shift. Clear skies and a high near 67°F will kick off June on a bright, dry note. Winds will be light, and the smoke should begin to thin across southeastern Wisconsin. Monday continues the warming trend with sunny skies and highs near 77°F—perfect for outdoor plans and early summer activities.
By Tuesday, highs near 81°F will be possible, though there’s a 20% chance of late-day showers. The next stronger system may arrive Tuesday night, bringing possible thunderstorms and a 60% chance of rain into Wednesday.
