Wisconsin greets the morning with crisp 27-degree air and pockets of patchy fog hanging low over parts of Milwaukee. Side streets glisten, and untreated sidewalks could turn slick as temperatures hover below freezing early today.
According to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan, patchy fog may linger in low-lying areas through the morning, with isolated slick spots possible on untreated surfaces. Highs climb to 44 degrees this afternoon under partly sunny skies, with light southeast winds around 5 mph.
Temperatures fall back to near 32 degrees tonight as clouds increase. That freeze line is critical. Damp pavement could refreeze, especially on bridges along I-94 and Highway 41. This is prime flash-freeze season in Wisconsin. Slow down and allow extra stopping distance if traveling late tonight or early Sunday.
Sunday turns sunny with a high near 47 degrees. Conditions remain quiet into Sunday night, with lows again near 32. President’s Day brings mostly sunny skies and a notable warm-up to 54 degrees. That’s well above average for mid-February.
Clouds return Tuesday with highs near 44, and rain becomes likely Tuesday night. Forecast models show a 70% chance of rainfall, with temperatures near 39 degrees. By Wednesday, rain chances continue with highs near 52.
Snow chances re-enter the picture Thursday into Friday as colder air nudges back in. It’s too early for totals, but light accumulation is possible if temperatures dip close to freezing.
Long-range trends point toward above-normal temperatures into late week, hinting at early spring vibes across southeast Wisconsin. Are you seeing fog or icy patches in your neighborhood this morning?
