Milwaukee weather: Scattered showers overnight, steadier Tuesday Afternoon

Take a look at the radar. What you'll notice is that we have light rain on the radar, kind of filling back in in our northwestern communities. Nothing heavy here. And I think that that's the big overarching point, because a lot of times you might look at a weather app and it'll just say rain, right? Well, you need a little more context with weather like this, with a pattern like we have. And what I mean by that is it's going to kind of bounce back and forth, like we're doing in Washington and Dodge counties right now, where you kind of go from just that drizzle and fog, then it picks up a little bit, then it dies down. That's what we're going to be seeing throughout the nighttime hours tonight and light. It's really going to be the key word. You see rain a little bit steadier down by Monroe. Then it really starts to pick up towards Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where they have a few rumbles of thunder tonight. That is moving to the northeast. So what you'll notice is most of that heavier batch will stay off to our west, much like happened this evening where we had some rain that came through during the evening rush hour. But out in La Crosse, they had a steady band of rain for quite some time. In fact, just west of Madison, three quarters of an inch of rain today. Well, we have just seen a few hundredths of an inch. So big difference from east to west today. This is a big system, though. And what you'll notice is more rain out in Nebraska and more storms down across parts of Kansas and Oklahoma. That I'll talk about in just a moment. But this is what it looks like from our Estabrook Park Tower camera. We're peering out of a stratus cloud right now. And when that stratus cloud hits the ground, well, it becomes fog. 59, dew point 58, wind out of the south, air pressure. It's really come down from when we talked last night. Now, temperatures are in the 50s across the board. We are actually going to go up a little bit in the temperature department by morning into the low 60s. Here's the scope. Of this storm system. And yeah, it's a big one. I mean, it goes from Canada all the way down to Texas here. And I want to zoom you into Oklahoma because this is where we have a line of strong thunderstorms going from Kansas all the way down to Texas. And they still have a tornado watch up. For this area. Why am I talking about this? Well, this segment or this wave in the atmosphere is going to be heading in our direction for tomorrow as the entire area of low pressure spins up our way. So what do I mean by that? Well, no, we're not going to get severe weather like they're getting in Oklahoma. But what you're going to notice is our rain chances pick up a bit tomorrow afternoon. And it's because this segment will be spiraling up out ahead of the storm system. So let's talk about what that means. Let's take a look at Sky Vision Plus. Talk more hour by hour for you here. And as we go through the overnight, again, occasional light rain and then the fog and the drizzle and the mist continues overnight as well. For Election Day morning, drizzly. Blustery with a south wind, low 60s tomorrow morning. Now, watch what happens by noon. You see that rain start to pick up, and you see rain into the afternoon. We might even see a rumble or two of thunder in the afternoon as this wave in the atmosphere lifts into our region. But again, overall, nothing crazy heavy here. Same thing into Tuesday night. Then we go into Wednesday, where we still have rain showers in the morning. And then we start to dry things out as we go into Wednesday afternoon. So pretty wild in the rain total department, much lower amounts east, a little bit higher to the west. But again, even with all this rain in the forecast, it's really not going to be that much rain. So here's your six day planner as we have temperatures at 67 tomorrow afternoon, 63 on Wednesday. Oh, November's back 50 on Friday, 49 by Sunday.
