Milwaukee is set for a largely dry and settled weekend before rain returns across southern Wisconsin from Tuesday, forecasters say.
Saturday, September 26, will begin mostly sunny before cloud gradually increases, with a high of about 68F and light easterly winds. Cloudy conditions are expected overnight, when temperatures could fall to 48F and patchy fog may develop.
Sunday should remain mostly dry, although a stray early shower is possible west of Madison. Milwaukee is forecast to reach around 70F under mostly cloudy skies, with light north-easterly winds.

Rain and thunderstorms return to Milwaukee
The weather pattern is expected to turn more unsettled on Tuesday as southerly winds draw additional moisture into the region. The day should start partly sunny, but clouds will build and rain showers are likely by late afternoon or evening.
Rain is expected to spread from west to east and become more widespread overnight, with a chance of thunder. The National Weather Service gives Milwaukee a 50 per cent chance of showers on Tuesday night, with thunderstorms possible after 1am.

Wednesday is likely to begin with showers, followed by a further chance of rain during the afternoon. Temperatures should reach about 70F, while Thursday will remain mild at around 72F but could bring additional showers.
Forecast confidence decreases after Wednesday as forecasters monitor an active weather pattern nearby. The precise position and timing of further rain and storms remains uncertain.
