Milwaukee Braces for Chilly Weather and Possible Rain-Snow Mix as Thanksgiving Nears

As the National Weather Service reports overcast skies and a cold 40 degrees Fahrenheit this morning, people in Milwaukee are wrapping themselves in coats and scarves. According to the most recent National Weather Service update, Milwaukee residents are facing a wind chill that is a few degrees colder at 36 F, with a 70% humidity level and a light northwest breeze blowing at 6 mph. At ten miles, visibility is clear, which may be good news for people leaving early to get ready for the holidays.

The NWS predicts a high of 45 degrees under overcast skies today, so the temperature isn’t likely to rise much. A west wind will continue to move at a leisurely 5 to 10 mph. The National Weather Service predicts that when night falls, temperatures will gradually drop to about 35 degrees, and that after midnight, the wind will calm down to a gentle breeze.

Going into the weekend, there should be more clouds on Saturday, with a high point of around 48 degrees. In the morning, a light wind is predicted to move from the southwest to the southeast. Rain is still a possibility on Sunday night, with a 20 percent chance. As the week progresses, this trend appears to be continuing, with Monday having a 50% chance of rain after midday.

The forecast looks erratic as Thanksgiving draws near, with bright spells expected on Tuesday accompanied by strong gusts. Even if Wednesday’s skies are partly sunny, there is a chance of rain and snow after noon, so the weather could change by the middle of the week. For Thanksgiving Day itself and the weekend after, the similar combination of precipitation and overcast skies persists. Even while there is still a danger of rain and snow, by Friday, the temperature noticeably drops below freezing.
