Milwaukee Weather: Wet and windy early week

Published November 2, 2026 4:36 AM CST

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

November is getting off to a rather soggy start as a slow-moving storm system brings several rounds of rain to southeastern Wisconsin through midweek. Monday will feature increasing clouds, gusty southerly winds and developing showers, with the wettest weather expected Tuesday into Tuesday night. We could even hear a few rumbles of thunder, but severe weather isn't expected. Most areas should pick up around a half-inch to three-quarters of an inch of rain, with locally higher amounts. Tuesday will also feel more like September than November, with highs the 70s and winds gusting over 30 mph. Showers gradually taper off Wednesday and Thursday, setting us up for a drier, and more seasonable weekend.
