Milwaukee, WI — A late-March chill will grip southeastern Wisconsin Tuesday as a snow-rain mix, gusty winds, and freezing morning temperatures disrupt spring routines.
According to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan, snow showers and slushy accumulations are possible overnight through early Tuesday, especially in Fond du Lac and Sheboygan Counties. Commuters along I-43 should prepare for icy patches, particularly during the morning rush when pavement could remain below freezing.
Strong westerly winds up to 40 mph will blow through Milwaukee, Racine, and Waukesha, dropping wind chills into the low 20s. The cold front pushing into the region is expected to keep early Tuesday lows near 28°F. By afternoon, high temperatures may briefly reach the mid-40s under mostly sunny skies.
While Tuesday night offers a slight reprieve with calmer conditions, the week ahead remains volatile. Wednesday will bring sunshine but cooler-than-average highs near 47°F. Rain chances return Thursday evening and increase into the weekend.
Five-Day Forecast for Milwaukee:
- Tuesday: High 44°F, breezy with AM snow possible
- Wednesday: Mostly sunny, high 47°F
- Thursday: Cloudy, slight rain chance late, high 54°F
