Milwaukee, WI — Thunderstorms are expected to roll through southeastern Wisconsin late Thursday into early Friday morning, bringing the potential for small hail and gusty winds.
According to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan, the strongest storm activity is likely to occur overnight and into the early hours of Friday, March 28. Temperatures are expected to rise sharply, with Milwaukee reaching a high near 70°F Friday, accompanied by strong winds.
Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms will persist into Saturday morning, with a stronger chance of widespread rain developing Saturday afternoon and lasting through Sunday. Cooler temperatures are forecast to return by late Sunday, with a potential changeover to snow Sunday night into early Monday.
Travelers and commuters across Milwaukee County and surrounding areas should remain alert for slick roads during the overnight storm window and use caution during Friday’s windy conditions. Residents are encouraged to secure loose outdoor items and stay updated through official NWS channels.
This weather pattern marks a sharp transition from typical late-March conditions, with highs fluctuating from 70°F Friday down to the low 40s by Monday. Snow chances increase in northern Wisconsin as colder air settles across the region to start next week.
