Milwaukee weather: Sunny Tuesday, showers Wednesdsay

Eventually things are definitely going to change up a little bit. November in Wisconsin, of course, notorious today, particularly we'll talk more about the anniversary of the Edmund Fitzgerald later on 51 years ago today, but it couldn't be a much more different day than what they had 51 years ago. Much calmer. Very light breeze, only a very few clouds, and nothing to speak of on the radar. Now, there is a cold front going through, but it's really going to do very little with the temperature. It's more of a wind shift line than anything else. You can certainly see that. Ahead of that cold front, it's more of a west and southwest wind. In behind it, it's more of a northwest wind. But you'll notice the temperature contours. In either side of it, really not that much different. So with all the sunshine, we'll end up with a very mild day, similar to, if not maybe even slightly warmer than yesterday. Now, dew points are relatively dry. They're in the 30s right now, so there's not much moisture for any kind of cloud cover or precipitation to really work with. That does change, though, as we go through the next few hours here. We do get a system moving in with some showers for our Wednesday. And then on the backside of that, we'll be watching the air Kind of shift around more to the north and eventually northeast. But this has become more of a northerly wind, and that'll help us out a little bit. So let's go look ahead with SkyView. Now, short term here, you've got the northwest breeze, light, lots of sunshine. It is going to really warm us up very efficiently today. It's a very light breeze overall. And then a few more clouds for the evening and overnight tonight, but we do manage to stay dry into the wee hours of Wednesday. Now, we'll likely see some scattered showers on Wednesday. Hopefully, it'll avoid a lot of what's going on for Veterans Day. We'll keep an eye on that. It does dry up nicely as we get into the afternoon with just maybe a few sprinkles in the evening and then clearing late evening and overnight at least for a few hours before that more northerly breeze kicks in. Now you'll notice the wind really gets quite strong heading into Thursday, but it has become a little bit more due north, and so that's going to keep most of this lake effect precipitation out over the lake, possibly even taking more down into northwestern Indiana, portions of the Chicagoland area, and not so much impacting our area. Now, lake shore spots may still see some showers throughout the day on Thursday. But inland areas might even just get some straight up sunshine. Our Fox weather model showing again a very calm day today, not only here at home, but pretty much throughout the state gets a little cloudier and wetter up north as we go through the night tonight. And then, of course, it's our turn later in the day on Wednesday with that wraparound, giving us the potential for a few lake effect showers getting into Thursday. So our Fox 6 Day Planner starts off here at around 62. We drop to 54 on Wednesday, low to mid mid-40s Thursday, Friday, and then some sun. Sunshine for the weekend, mid to upper 40s, not bad for a November weekend.
