The cold front moved in Tuesday and temperatures today have been about 30 degrees colder, not including the wind chill from that brisk NW wind. In addition, it has been cloudy so we don't have that nice sunshine to help warm us up. The radar is showing flurries in the area, but nothing is reaching the ground thanks to very dry air. That dry air will create a cold night with lows in the low 20s in Milwaukee to teens inland. It will be frosty and a slight breeze will drop the wind chills into the low teens for most of the area. The sun returns on Thursday, but a NE wind will keep us in the 30s all day.
Friday is sunny and warmer with highs near 50 thanks to a SW breeze. That SW wind sticks around for Saturday with highs in the mid-60s in Milwaukee to upper 60s inland. A light easterly wind develops on Easter Sunday with highs in the 50s along the lake, but inland areas are sunny and 70. It looks to be a very nice holiday weekend. Monday is in the mid-60s in Milwaukee to lower 70s inland with rain showers developing by late afternoon. A slow-moving storm system looks to keep most of next week cloudy, mild and rainy.
