Rain-free forecast for Milwaukee after Tuesday night storm
Drier days await Milwaukee this week after the city received 1.07 inches of rain Tuesday into Wednesday before it finally slowed to a stop this morning.
According to Denny Van Cleve, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Sullivan, the rain will continue to taper off throughout the morning.
"We might actually see the sun start to poke in from Madison westward this afternoon," Van Cleve said. "It could reach Milwaukee by later in the day as well."
Van Cleve added that no rain is forecast for Thursday or Friday. There is a "small chance" of rain on Saturday, he noted, but most of the day should stay dry.
The weather service forecasts a high of 63 degrees on June 4, with morning rainfall expected to end by 10 a.m. The morning will be foggy, with the possibility of patchy smoke.
The Department of Natural Resources issued a statewide air quality advisory for smoke traveling south through Wisconsin from Canadian wildfires. The warning is currently slated to lift at noon on June 4, but Van Cleve said it could be extended.
"There's still a chance we could be dealing with this at least through the rest of today," Van Cleve said. "I'd say that conditions will be hopefully improving over the next day8 or two, but we'll at least have to deal with it through today."
The air quality alert advises members of "sensitive groups" — including those with asthma or heart disease — to consider rescheduling outdoor activities or else to move them inside.
