Warmer Weather Headed For Wisconsin: Highs In The 70 Over The Weekend

WISCONSIN — After a snowy start to the week the greater Milwaukee area can expect sunny skies to last through the weekend with highs in the 70s possible until Monday, according to the National Weather Service forecast.

The balmy weekend temps are expected after much of southeast Wisconsin started out its week with a freeze warning. Mostly sunny skies are expected to last until the weekend ends, then showers may become possible into next week, according to the NWS.

The sunny skies and warm temperatures may present the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors as southeast Wisconsin transitions into fall. Here are some ideas:

• Take a look around for a pick-your-own orchard and bring home a bounty of apples.
• Check out the late-season farmers markets with fresh, seasonal produce.
• Take a scenic Wisconsin road trip to see the fall foliage change before it all disappears.

Here's the rest of the forecast for southeast Wisconsin from the NWS:

Friday: A high near 70 and sunny. Into the evening a low around 48.

Saturday: A high near 74 and sunny. Into the evening a low around 56.

Sunday: A high near 72 and mostly sunny, windy. Into the evening a chance of showers and thunderstorms, a low around 59.
