Fri Apr 18 12:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Milwaukee Area Facing Potential Showers and Thunderstorms This Week
**Milwaukee, WI [Date]** – Milwaukee residents should brace for unsettled weather this week, with showers and thunderstorms possible Thursday evening and Friday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). While the exact timing remains uncertain, rain is anticipated to begin Thursday afternoon, increasing in intensity throughout the day. Thunderstorms are possible after 4 p.m., peaking between 7 p.m. and 3 a.m. These storms are expected to be scattered, not continuous, and while gusty winds and hail are possible, they’re considered more likely in southwestern Wisconsin.
Friday brings a higher chance of severe weather. The NWS issued a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms for southeastern Wisconsin Friday evening, primarily between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. If storms develop along a moving cold front, large hail and damaging winds are a possibility, with these threats considered more likely in the Milwaukee area than Thursday’s storms. However, the NWS cautions that the development of severe weather on Friday remains uncertain.
The unsettled weather is expected to conclude around midnight Saturday, giving way to sunny and dry conditions with a high near 53 degrees. Easter Sunday, however, may see a return of rain, with over 80% chance between 7 p.m. and midnight and the possibility of thunderstorms in the evening. Rain is expected to linger into Monday morning. Residents are advised to monitor weather forecasts for updates.
