Milwaukee Weather: Sunny, dry and mild

Published October 22, 2026 5:15 AM CDT

Forecast from FOX6 Meteorologist Rob Haswell

Another easy going stretch of fall weather, with temperatures running above average with plenty of sun and dry days ahead. Isolated areas of fog could slow you down early Thursday and again Thursday night, but otherwise high pressure is keeping things quiet. The mild, dry weather sticks around right through the weekend, and Monday may even get in on the action. Our next weather maker is taking its sweet time arriving, with rain chances returning Monday night into Tuesday. That system will also knock temperatures back toward more typical late-October levels by early next week, but after that a longer range warm up looks likely.
