Milwaukee weather: Slight Chance Rain/Snow

Earmuffs, earmuffs, hand warmers, all of the above, all of the above, all of the above. Yes, Kim. You know, I love to be warm, but this is the crazy thing about me guys. Okay. Quick secret here. There's no longer going to be a secret. I like for it to be cold outside. I want it to be very much freezing, like freezing, freezing, freezing, just so I can have a reason to be cuddled up and warm. I don't know what it is, and then I'll complain about how cold it is. That's just how I get down. I don't know why. It's just something about it that makes me feel good inside. Maybe you can feel good as well because there's a lot you can do indoors to kind of stay warm. We'll start off with making some soup. Go ahead and get the pot stirring with the soup because you're going to need it over the weekend to kind of help stay warm. I'll give you something, a pot roast. That's something very hearty for you to eat over the weekend. Now, temperature is at 45 degrees for a high temperature today. We're not going to get out of the 40s throughout the weekend as well, so kind of get used to what we're feeling for now because we won't see changes until the beginning of next week. We're at 39 degrees here in Milwaukee, but our feels like temperature is 31. That is our wind chill right now. It is kind of on the colder side below. Freezing is what it feels like. Dew points are at 26 degrees. Wind is from the north at. Fifteen miles per hour. Now you wonder, is that wind going to come down? No, it's not. Not for now. Tonight, it's going to remain breezy. And then even heading into tomorrow, we could see some of those gusty winds looking at our temperatures versus the wind chills. You start to see more of those wind chill values in the upper 20s, even though our temperatures are still in the upper 30s. We're seeing temperature. We're seeing the wind chill values about 10 degrees below what the actual temperature is. So that is an indicator that it's cold. I don't know what else to tell you. But to bundle up to layer up. We've got a long weekend with the cold temperatures to stick around. We look at the wind speeds here, too, and it's going to remain breezy over the entire weekend. We're going to be pretty or not over the entire weekend. Excuse me. I'm trying to get straight to the weekend because that's when I'm off. But let's talk about the wind speeds right now. It is going to remain breezy tonight. And into tomorrow and then those winds will start to calm down. We're breezy even right now. So we're looking at about 10 to 15 mile per hour wind. Now our peak wind gusts, meaning our highest wind gusts that we've experienced today was up to 40 miles per hour. Now looking at the wind gusts for tomorrow, even starting the day off tomorrow, you see their wind gusts up to about 25 miles per hour and really not going to let down until later on in the evening. But throughout the day it is going to hold pretty steady. Looking at those temperatures and how They trend. We will continue to drop to the lower 30s tonight. Some areas are going to be dropping to the upper 20s with wind chills to be in the 20s. Looking at our satellite and radar here, we're quiet across the way. We are starting to see a little bit more of that lake effect snow, really from Door County all the way down to the Green Bay area. We're staying pretty dry here in southeast Wisconsin. And as we look ahead here on our Sky Vision Plus, the question is, will we remain dry? We could see some lake effect rain that could be possible. It's going to be a very slight chance for that, though. Not necessarily going to be dealing with lake effect snow, maybe a flurry or two. Other than that, though, staying pretty dry, really for Friday and Saturday. Saturday, we start to clean up nice, so we'll look a little bit better for Saturday's forecast. Sunday, we keep that sunshine going, and even heading into Monday, we warm up some more. We get to the 50s as we head towards next week, mid-50s by the middle of the week. And there are several days where we can. We can call it a happy holiday forecast if we're talking sunshine. We just got to get through tomorrow where there is a slight chance for a shower or two.
