MILWAUKEE — Get ready for a weather rollercoaster in southeast Wisconsin!
Spring-like showers/storms turn to a blast of cold air and even snow showers by Wednesday morning, according to the Storm Team 4 forecast.
Milwaukee could reach a record-breaking 65-degrees Tuesday afternoon. Given the warm temperatures & low-level moisture, a few storms are possible. Strong to severe storms are possible – one or two could produce damaging hail and/or wind, says Storm Team 4 meteorologist Brandon Johnson.
Temperatures plunge into the 20’s by daybreak Wednesday. Wind chills could drop into the teens.
“We could have some pretty good thunderstorms (between 5p-8p on Tuesday),” Storm Team 4 chief meteorologist Brian Niznanksy told Wis. Morning News on Tuesday. “The best chance is in our southern counties.”
A few snow showers are possible – leaving a dusting to half an inch of accumulation. Any wet pavement from the previous showers/storms may freeze – leading to slick & slippery spots Wednesday morning. Highs will barely crack 30-degrees on Wednesday afternoon.
