Milwaukee Weather: Chilly morning, frost and freeze tonight

Published November 6, 2026 4:23 AM CST

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

We're wrapping up the workweek with a little November reality check as colder air settles in. We get off to a sunny start Friday before clouds roll back in during the afternoon. The real chill arrives Friday night when clearing skies and lighter winds send temperatures tumbling into the 20s. A widespread freeze and frost is expected Friday night and Saturday morning. Saturday stays cool and quiet with highs near 50, and then a little bonus warmth helps us finish the weekend strong. By Monday, we're back into the lower 60s before a dry cold front knocks temperatures down a few degrees. We're looking at a long stretch of dry weather through much of next week.
