Weather Update for Southeast Wisconsin
Yesterday, temperatures in Milwaukee neared record highs. However, the forecast has shifted dramatically as cold air arrives. By this morning, temperatures fell sharply, dipping into the 20s by 9 a.m.
Snow Showers and Temperature Drop
Early snow showers are anticipated to create challenges for the morning commute. Light to moderate snow is expected, leading to reduced visibility and potentially slick road conditions.
- Morning Temperatures: Above freezing

Blustery northwest winds are set to make it feel much colder, with gusts reaching up to 40 mph. As the day progresses, conditions are expected to clear somewhat in the afternoon.
Upcoming Weather Patterns
Another round of snowfall is forecast for Thursday night into Friday, likely resulting in several inches accumulating across southern Wisconsin. On-and-off flurries may persist through the weekend due to strong northwest winds off the Great Lakes.

- Saturday High: 21°F (partly cloudy with scattered snow showers)

Despite the snowfall, overall accumulations are not predicted to be severe. This shift in weather will lead to significantly lower temperatures, as highs will drop into the teens this weekend and the early part of next week.
