Milwaukee will see high temperatures near 70 early this week, National Weather Service says
Average high temperatures for the middle of March in Milwaukee are in the low-to-mid 40s, but that won’t be the case for the beginning of this week.
Milwaukee is expected to see highs in the 60s on Monday and Tuesday, followed by rainy, cooler weather later in the week.
A high of 64 degrees is in the forecast for Monday, said local National Weather Service meteorologist Andrew Quigley. This comes close to Milwaukee’s March 11 record high of 66 degrees, which was set in 2012.
Tuesday should be even warmer, with a high of 69 degrees forecast for the city of Milwaukee and areas further from Lake Michigan “likely flirting with that 70-degree mark,” Quigley said. But despite being about 25 degrees above average for this time of year, Tuesday’s temps will likely fall short of Milwaukee’s March 12 record of 76 degrees, set in 1990.
The warm weather early this week is due, in part, to a warm front following southwesterly winds in the forecast. Another likely contributor is the tail end of the winter’s El Niño effect. El Niño was the main culprit behind Milwaukee’s warmest winter on record, and its effects can continue producing above-normal temps into the early spring, Quigley said.
National Weather Service warns of elevated fire risk Monday and Tuesday
Low humidity, dry air and gusty winds could produce elevated fire weather conditions Monday and Tuesday, NWS warns. However, Quigley said the conditions aren’t quite serious enough for the weather service to issue a Red Flag Warning.
“Still, it’s always a good idea to practice some proper fire-weather safety on days like today,” he said.
Safety tips include:
- Be conscientious if you need to burn anything or start an outdoor fire.
- Ensure that, if you’re towing anything or using a trailer, no chains are dragging on the ground.
- Make sure you don’t do anything that could accidentally cause a spark, grass fire or brush fire to break out.
Milwaukee is expected to see cooler temperatures and rain later this week
Winds coming in from the north will bring temperatures closer to normal for this time of year later in the week. Wednesday’s forecast includes a high of 47 degrees and a low of 40, with a 40% chance of rain Wednesday night.
Precipitation is expected to continue on and off through Friday, Quigley said. Thursday’s forecast features a high of 45 and a low of 34, along with a 70% chance of rain during the day and a 60% chance overnight.
Friday is expected to see a high of 46, with moderate chances of rain before 1 p.m.
“Right now, it looks like we’ll stay mild enough for rain only in the Milwaukee area,” Quigley said. “But, we’ll be monitoring the overnight lows just in case anything changes there.”

Travelers see shorter lines at Milwaukee Mitchell despite the ongoing partial government shutdown
MILWAUKEE — Despite a partial government shutdown causing long TSA lines at airports across the country, travelers at Milwaukee Mitchell airport are experiencing short wait times ahead of spring break.
John Wahlen and his colleague Joe Orendorf were coming back home from North Carolina and prepared for a much different scene.
“We were remarkably surprised that it was as easy as it was,” Wahlen said.

A national TSA spokesperson told TMJ4 that over 3,450 TSA officers called out across the country on Thursday. The national call-out rate was at 11.83% percent, the highest since the shutdown began.
While the TSA could not provide specific numbers for Milwaukee Mitchell, the airport was not in the top-10 for call-out rates.
The highest percentages of call-offs came from much larger airports, including George Bush Intercontinental in Houston at 44 percent, Atlanta at almost 41 percent, and Baltimore at 37 percent.
“We were in smaller airports, Raleigh-Durham, I think we waited for two people, and one of them was him,” Orendorf said.

A spokesperson for Milwaukee Mitchell told TMJ4 that around 11,000 people are expected this Friday and Saturday, and next Friday and Saturday as spring break travel peaks.
President Trump signed an executive order to pay TSA agents, meaning a resolution may be on the horizon. Travelers, including Selena Mauricio, said they are thankful for the agents who are still showing up.

“Their jobs aren’t easy, and I commend the ones that still come to work, definitely,” Mauricio said.
