Milwaukee Weather: AM showers, PM cooler

Published November 4, 2026 4:46 AM CST

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

Our stubborn storm system isn't quite ready to leave, but it will give us a few breaks Wednesday afternoon before another round of showers moves through Thursday. A rumble of thunder isn't impossible, but this is mostly a cloudy, occasionally wet and breezy event rather than a big thunderstorm event. Friday brings a final reminder that it's November, with brisk north winds, highs struggling to reach the low 50s and temperatures dropping into the upper 20s inland Friday night. The weekend is looking pretty good, with sun returning and temperatures climbing into the mid-50s Sunday. If you're not ready for winter, you'll like Monday, when southwest winds could push us back toward 60 degrees!
