WISCONSIN — If you're a fan of this warmer weather, you'll be happy to know it's sticking around for a few more days. If you're a winter-lover, sorry.

The past few days have been beautiful with temperatures near 70 degrees and sunny skies. If you've enjoyed it, don't worry, it doesn't appear to be going anywhere.

Storm Team Four Meteorologist Kristen Kirchhaine said average highs for this time of year are around 51 degrees. However, we are seeing temperatures that are 10 to 20 degrees higher.

On Wednesday, Milwaukee tied the record high for temperature on Oct. 4 which is 73 degrees. The city just missed the record by a few degrees on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

You can expect temperatures around 70 through the weekend, with a high of 70 on Friday and Sunday, and a high of 71 on Saturday.

Temperatures on Monday and Tuesday aren't looking so bad either, with highs in the 60s. But, this weekend is definitely when you should finish prepping your yard for winter as it's going to be gorgeous outside.

It will also be the perfect weekend for taking the motorcycle out for a ride or grilling out with family. Enjoy!
