Wisconsin Weather Forecast: What To Expect This July 4 Weekend

WISCONSIN — The Great Lakes area, including Wisconsin, is expected to be mostly dry this July 4 weekend, forecasters at AccuWeather reported on Monday.

A cold front will push south and leave a zone from Minnesota to Michigan free of rain, AccuWeather Meteorologist Brandon Buckingham said.

"From Chicago and Detroit and to points north of the Canadian border, the weekend looks largely dry and settled with seasonable warmth and low to moderate humidity levels," Buckingham added. That means July 4 will be largely comfortable in Wisconsin.

Moisture from the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico will contribute to thunderstorms in the Southwest and Southeast, and bring storms to parts of the Midwest, forecasters said. Any possible storms in the Midwest on July 4 would be short-lived, forecasters added.

Here is the day-by-day weekend forecast in Milwaukee.

Friday: A thunderstorm is expected in parts of the area in the morning, otherwise mostly cloudy and cool. High of 81 degrees.

Saturday: Partly cloudy with a high of 80 degrees.

Sunday: Mostly sunny, with a high of 79 degrees.

Monday: Mostly sunny, high of 80 degrees.
