MILWAUKEE, WI — A ribbon of low clouds slid in off Lake Michigan before sunrise Saturday, catching the glow of the Hoan Bridge and carrying a faint mist. Those brief, spotty showers will pass quickly across southeast Wisconsin this morning before giving way to a brighter stretch that sets up a pleasant pre-Halloween week.
The National Weather Service in Milwaukee calls for a few passing sprinkles between about 9 and 10 a.m., easing by midday. Expect mostly cloudy skies today with highs near 52°F. Winds turn southeast this afternoon at 5 to 10 mph, keeping areas near the lake cool but calm. Any lingering drizzle fades by evening, leading to a quiet night with lows around 45°F.
Sunday brings classic fall perfection: plenty of sunshine, light winds, and highs in the upper 50s. It’s ideal for yard work, pumpkin patches, or getting a head start on trick-or-treat decorations. Monday stays mostly sunny with highs around 54°F, extending the mild spell before clouds increase and a few light showers approach late Tuesday.
Rain chances creep up slightly midweek, but no significant storms are expected. Temperatures hold in the 50s right through Halloween, with early signs from long-range outlooks pointing to a cooler pattern settling in as November begins.
For now, Milwaukee can enjoy a gentle weekend reprieve—crisp mornings, bright afternoons, and just enough chill to remind us that a brisker November is waiting in the wings.
