Milwaukee residents can expect a mixed bag of weather conditions in the coming week, with the latest forecast indicating a range of sun, wind, rain, and snow, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Milwaukee. Today's weather is set to see increasing clouds with a high near 55 degrees and breezy conditions. South winds of 10 to 15 mph will rise to 15 to 20 mph in the afternoon, with gusts potentially reaching as high as 35 mph.
Conditions tonight are expected to change, with rain showers likely before 2 am, followed by a slight chance of snow showers between 2 am and 4 am. The southwest wind will shift north after midnight, with temperatures dropping to a low of around 26. Gusts may reach up to 30 mph.
While there is a 60 percent chance of precipitation, snow accumulation is expected to be less than half an inch. The National Weather Service detailed forecast further notes that tomorrow will bring partly sunny skies that will clear up as the day progresses, with a high near 36 and a modest north wind shifting east later on, ensuring the weekend starts on a colder note after the turbulent weather tonight.Sunday's forecast spells more dynamic weather, with rain possibly mixed with snow in the morning before transitioning to all rain by 10 am; temperatures will hover near the 48-degree mark, and with southeast winds around 15 mph gusting up to 25 mph, the chance of precipitation stands at a significant 90 percent, though little to no snow accumulation is expected.
Looking ahead to Sunday night, Milwaukeeans might need to keep their umbrellas handy as there's a chance of rain before 10 pm and then possibly mixed with snow until 1 am, after which snow could fall predominantly; mostly cloudy skies can be anticipated, with a nighttime low around 32 degrees and a persistent west wind around 15 mph. Moving into Monday and beyond, the skies are forecasted to clear slightly with a 20 percent chance of snow before 1 pm and highs nearing a more comfortable 43 degrees; from Monday evening onwards, the weather trend leans towards partly cloudy nights and mostly sunny days, culminating in a Thursday high near the much-welcomed 50-degree line..
