Southeast Wisconsin weather: Near-record warmth, strong winds Tuesday, Wednesday

and last updated

An active stretch of weather is on the way for southeastern Wisconsin, including gusty winds, near-record warmth, and potential storms with a strong cold front.

Overnight, temperatures are not expected to fall; they will likely rise a few degrees, remaining in the 60s. Winds will be breezy, and a few spotty thundershowers may develop overnight, primarily north of Milwaukee.

Tuesday will be an abnormally warm and windy day. High temperatures will reach around 80 degrees, close to the record of 81 degrees set in 1937. Winds will gust from the southwest as high as 40 mph, which could bring down leaves and possibly some tree branches. Make sure to secure any Halloween inflatables.

Wednesday will be another warm day, with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s. The record high for Wednesday is 78 degrees, last set in 1901. Winds could gust up to 45 mph. Most of Wednesday will be dry, but an approaching cold front will bring rain and storms by late Wednesday night into Thursday morning. A few severe storms are possible, so stay tuned for updates.

Temperatures will cool off behind the front, dropping back to the 50s and 60s on Thursday. Showers, clouds, and gusty winds are likely to linger on Halloween.

Friday will be mostly sunny and cooler, with highs in the mid-50s.
