Milwaukee weather: Windy and cooler

You might need a bit of a heavier jacket than you had last weekend, but all in all, not bad at all. Today is a little windy, a little colder, and we might even have the occasional rain shower or snow shower. You see some choppy waves out on Lake Michigan there from our Kenosha camp, and you see some... Lake effect rain showers, but mostly out over the lake at the moment. Farther to the north, it is lake effect snow coming down in the UP, which is why they do have some advisories in place up there. The weather advisory, if you're traveling or if your family up at Marquette, goes through until noon on Friday, expecting some accumulation there. Now, what's happened is we're behind the cold front. We talked about that yesterday. We're getting that steady flow of colder air from the north. At times northeast, and that's the question here, like how much of a northeasterly wind will we get? Because if it gets enough of a northeast wind, strong enough, it'll bring some of this precipitation onshore. And some of that might even be at times a little bit of a wintry mix. Generally, it looks like this will be a lake event, but we'll keep an eye on it throughout the day today and early tomorrow, and then we start to settle down as high pressure builds into the weekend. So let's go check it out on Sky Vision Plus. Now, short term, again, we're cloudy for sure. We've got most of the precipitation staying out over the lake. But. May just drift a little closer to the lakeshore this afternoon, so we'll keep an eye on that. Could see that happening again as we go through the later evening and overnight tonight, possibly even mixing in with a little bit of snow at times because, of course, that cooler air settles in in the overnight hours and early Friday morning, but then we continue to improve throughout the day Friday and we're back to some sunshine later in the day. Now, we could actually use a little bit of rain. We're only at just under half an inch for the month. We're a little over a third. Third of an inch below the running average, and October was a relatively dry month as well. As far as temperatures go today, not much movement. We'll stay in the 40s this afternoon, drop back down to the 20s tonight, and then back into the 40s tomorrow. So 46 the high, 30 the low. Below average of both ranges there not going to break any records for highs or lows. They're all going to stay very much on the record books. Now this colder air mass doesn't stick around forever. We start coming out of it a little bit on the weekend, a little bit more early next week. It looks like that extended outlook is on the plus side yet again. So our Fox six day planner starts off at 46 little windy feeling much cooler than that throughout the day. 44 tomorrow back to 4648 for the weekend. Both days sunny and dry should be back in the 50s by Monday. Monday and Tuesday.
