Spring has come to Wisconsin – and the weather is finally starting to show it
Wisconsin warms up as spring officially arrives
It’s finally feeling like spring in southeastern Wisconsin as temperatures rise and snow begins to melt.
It’s officially spring, as of Friday, March 20 – at least according to astronomical seasons. And the weather in southeastern Wisconsin seems to be getting on the same page.
Temperatures in the Milwaukee area March 20 are expected to be in the mid-50s, with the potential to reach 60 degrees. On Saturday, March 21, temperatures will likely rise to the low to mid-60s, said Aidan Kuroski, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan.
Kuroski said if the conditions are right, it’s possible March 21 may get even warmer.
“I’m not going to competely rule out 70 – although I think it’s unlikely,” he said.
For many Wisconsinites, the spring-like temperatures are a welcome change after the previous weekend’s blizzard that brought more than two feet of snow to parts of the state.
Over the weekend, any lingering snow in southeastern Wisconsin is likely to fully melt, Kuroski said.
Temperatures will get a little cooler Sunday, March 22, in the mid 40s and low 50s, and by Monday, March 23 likely in the low 40s – primarily due to onshore winds from Lake Michigan, Kuroski said. But it should warm slightly again by Tuesday, March 24.
“During these warm spells, the wind direction – especially for Milwaukee, anywhere close to the lake – the wind direction is massive for what we’re capable of reaching for high temperatures,” Kuroski said.
Easterly winds, he said, will bring in cool air from Lake Michigan, while winds coming from the south or west will bring warmer temps.
The weather should stay mostly dry as well, with a slight possibility for some rain Sunday, March 22, and potentially a round of rain in the middle of the following week, Kuroski said.

Wisconsin’s sports teams will have a fitting jersey patch on their uniforms this year.
The Badgers unveiled a Culver’s uniform patch in a new video on Tuesday.
The fast food restaurant, known for its ButterBurgers and Frozen Custard, was founded in Wisconsin and is beloved by those in the state. Now, Culver’s has partnered up with the state’s flagship university.
The Wisconsin Badgers basketball offseason has looked slightly different than normal through the month of June.
Head coach Greg Gard’s class of 2027 rounds out the month of June, featuring three high-profile high school talents. Headlined by four-star in-state sensation Jalen Brown, the class also features three-star center Jack Thelen and Baboucarr Ann, Minnesota’s No. 1 prospect for the class of ’27.

While 247Sports considers Brown the No. 70 player, No. 13 shooting guard, and No. 5 recruit from Wisconsin for the class of 2027, Ann’s status as a small forward is certainly comparable. The outlet’s composite ranking ranks Ann as the No. 63 overall player, No. 18 small forward, and top-rated recruit from his state, making the tandem one of the most prestigious duos to commit to UW in recent history.
247Sports’ director of scouting Adam Finkelstein had this to say about Ann in his recruiting profile:
“Ann is a long-armed, two-way wing who already has versatile tools and yet plenty of potential to keep improving for the foreseeable future… Ann is a long-armed, two-way wing who already has versatile tools and yet plenty of potential to keep improving for the foreseeable future.”
But how did Ann perform during his latest season with Maple Grove High School in Maple Grove, Minnesota?

Through 31 games, he averaged 18.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.4 steals per appearance, according to StribVarsity. If Ann can provide even half of that production as a freshman, Wisconsin’s wing depth could look quite scary when he arrives in Madison.
