Record warmth on the way?
The mild temperatures that have been around for the past few days will stay around for a few more. In fact, it's going to get even warmer.
High temperatures on Wednesday will likely be in the mid 40s. That will be 10-15 degrees above normal. That will also be just the opening act for what may be a record-setting Thursday.
Thursday's high temperatures will be in the 50s. We'll likely threaten the record which is 55 degrees set in 1981. Despite the fact that it will be rather cloudy and perhaps rainy, we have a real shot at re-writing the record book that day.
Highs will fall back to the low 40s on Friday, still a bargain for mid-February. Indications are that the highs on Saturday and Sunday will be in the mid to upper 30s.
The long-range outlook for next week suggests there is a much higher than average threat for precipitation. While it's too early to be very specific, it appears that the week could both start and end with strong storm systems affecting Wisconsin.I'll keep you up to date here on OnMilwaukee.com.Â
