Milwaukee, Wisconsin – Storms will build over southeastern Wisconsin Monday afternoon, threatening travel along major Milwaukee roadways just in time for lunch-hour traffic.
According to the National Weather Service, a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms is expected between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Monday, followed by scattered rain into the evening. Gusts may reach 15 mph out of the southwest. Commuters should prepare for wet pavement and sudden slowdowns, especially on Interstates 94 and 794, which cut through the heart of the metro area.
Monday’s high will hover near 68°F, a slight dip from Sunday’s 72°F, as thick clouds and unstable air suppress temperatures. Rainfall totals are expected to be light—generally less than a tenth of an inch—but isolated thunderstorms could bring heavier pockets of rain and reduced visibility.
After a quieter Monday night, skies clear Tuesday and Wednesday with highs rebounding to 74°F and 81°F, respectively. Winds remain mild, and no major weather is expected those days, giving residents a break from the unsettled pattern.
Another round of thunderstorms returns Thursday afternoon, bringing a 50% chance of rain through Friday. Highs hover in the low 70s, with overnight lows near 58°F.
Storms may linger into early Saturday, with a 40% chance of rain. Keep devices charged and limit outdoor plans as needed during afternoon hours.
More updates are expected if conditions shift — stay weather-aware through Friday, June 13.
