Milwaukee Weather: Rain likely, windy

Published November 3, 2026 4:22 AM CST

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

November is apparently having a little trouble remembering what season it is, with temperatures climbing to near 70 today! Unfortunately, that warmth comes with plenty of wind, several rounds of rain and even a few rumbles of thunder. Most of us will pick up around a half-inch to three-quarters of an inch of rain through Wednesday morning, with locally heavier totals possible near thunderstorms. Severe weather is not expected. Showers become more hit-or-miss Wednesday afternoon and Thursday before we finally dry out and cool down heading into the weekend. Friday and Saturday look much more like November, with highs around 50, although a weak system could sneak a few showers into the forecast late in the weekend.
