Watch: Find out when you’ll need your winter coat again:
A cold front brought a few sprinkles last night and dropped temperatures into the 30s. Increasing cloud cover is expected today with onshore winds off Lake Michigan. Highs will only climb into the mid-40s. As an area of low pressure approaches from the west, winds will turn out of the southwest, bolstering temperatures through the overnight hours. Scattered showers will enter the region after 8 p.m. A few rumbles of thunder are possible as this light to steady rain moves through. One-tenth to one-quarter inch of rainfall is expected.
As the low passes by, precipitation is lofted well into northern Wisconsin. Sunshine returns by the afternoon, with highs again nearing 60 degrees.
Another area of low pressure moves up from the southwest late Thursday into Friday, bringing the chance for scattered rain showers and a transition to light snow by Friday. Most of the snow stays well northwest of Milwaukee. Highs will return to the 30s and 40s by the weekend.
