Weather: Staying sunny & mild

1 week ago | wisn.com | Molly Bernard

TONS OF SUNSHINE. STAYING IN THE FORECAST. NOT JUST TODAY, BUT ALSO TOMORROW. SO YOU HAVE PATIO. YOU HAVE CUSHIONS THAT GO ON THE CHAIRS. YOU CAN PUT THEM OUT, YOU CAN LEAVE THEM OUT TODAY. YOU CAN LEAVE THEM OUT TOMORROW. I WOULD BRING THEM IN TOMORROW NIGHT OR TUESDAY MORNING. THAT’S WHEN RAIN IS BACK. BUT WE ARE DRY THROUGH THE REST OF THE LONG WEEKEND AND THE WEATHER IS NEARLY GOING TO BE A COPY PASTE FROM WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY.
Weather: Sunny & mild Memorial Day Weekend

SAME AND WE ARE SLOWLY WARMING UP NOT JUST THROUGH THE WEEKEND, BUT THROUGH THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST. SO LOTS OF GOOD NEWS. ALSO, I KNOW MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND FOR A LOT OF US, IT’S KIND OF THE UNOFFICIAL START TO SUMMER. IF YOU HAVE PLANS TO DO A BARBECUE TO COOK OUTSIDE, ABSOLUTELY. THE WEATHER IS GOING TO COOPERATE A LOT LIKE YESTERDAY. GREAT IN THE SUNSHINE THIS AFTERNOON, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT COOLER IN THE SHADE. SO KEEPING A JACKET HANDY.

Milwaukee is lucky to have a thriving urban forest, and now, a first-of-its-kind research project is shedding even more light on the impact trees have on the city. "We kind of poetically call the urban forest 'the forest outside your door,'" said Dan Buckler, an urban forest analyst with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Bucker explained that an urban forest is any tree in a park, a yard, even a parking lot or median.

ANGLE DOESN’T CHANGE. SO IF YOU’RE LIKE ME AND YOU BURN IN TWO HOURS LIKE I DID WEDNESDAY WHEN I WAS OUT SHOOTING A STORY, SUNSCREEN IS STILL WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO WANT. AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE WEEK. WE HAVE SOME CLOUD COVER OUT THERE RIGHT NOW, BUT I DO THINK WE SEE MORE SUNSHINE AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON. OUTSIDE WEATHER TODAY. TOMORROW YOU WILL WANT A JACKET LAKESIDE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. WE’RE IN THE 50S 60S INLAND TODAY, 50S INLAND TOMORROW. THEN TUESDAY IS THE DAY FOR INSIDE PLANS.
Weather: Cooler this weekend

CAN’T REALLY GO WRONG. SPEND SOME TIME OUTSIDE. IF YOU’RE GOING TO SPEND TOO MUCH TIME OUTSIDE, ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO YESTERDAY, IT’S GOING TO BE QUITE A BIT COOLER. YOU’LL PROBABLY WANT A JACKET. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. THE WARMEST DAY OF THE YEAR SO FAR IN MILWAUKEE WAS YESTERDAY. WE HIT 84 DEGREES. WE’VE HIT 81 OTHER TIMES SO FAR IN 2025, BUT THIS WAS THE WARMEST SINCE SEPTEMBER 21ST. SO 237 DAYS SINCE WE’VE BEEN QUITE THAT WARM.

IT’S 1117. TURNING TO WEATHER WATCH 12 LINDSEY. THIS MORNING’S FOG IS STILL HANGING AROUND DOWNTOWN MILWAUKEE. IT’S A LITTLE STUBBORN TO MOVE OUT. IT WILL EVENTUALLY CLEAR WITH A BIG STORY ARE THE STORMS THAT ARE TRACKING THAT COULD BE SEVERE AND THAT FOG, LIKE YOU MENTIONED, IS JUST STUCK OVER DOWNTOWN. BUT THAT’S REALLY IT. IF YOU JUST GET A LITTLE BIT FURTHER WEST, IT’S GONE. SO I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT MORE ABOUT THURSDAY. AND YOU HIT THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE HEAD.
Weather: Mild Mother's Day

THE WEATHER IS SPECTACULAR. I WENT BACK AND LOOKED DUKE THE HIGH TEMPERATURE ON MOTHER’S DAY LAST YEAR, 84 DEGREES, A LITTLE BIT COOLER TODAY, BUT STILL REALLY NICE. IT HAS BEEN A COOL MAY TAKE A LOOK AT HIGH TEMPERATURES SO FAR. THE BLUE WHICH YOU’RE SEEING MOST OF OVER THE LAST WEEK AND A HALF TO KICK OFF THE MONTH, TEMPERATURES BELOW AVERAGE. WE WERE ABOVE AVERAGE ONE DAY SO FAR THIS MONTH. WE SHOULD BE RIGHT AROUND AVERAGE TODAY, BUT WE DO HAVE A STRETCH OF HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S.

ANYTHING IN SOUTHEASTERN WISCONSIN. THIS WEEKEND LOOKS GREAT. COOLER BY THE LAKE. WE’VE SEEN THAT THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. THAT TREND IS GOING TO STICK AROUND THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND THROUGH THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST. A LITTLE BIT BREEZY TODAY. WINDS AREN’T TOO BAD RIGHT NOW. THEY’RE STARTING TO PICK UP AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. OVERALL THOUGH, IT IS A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND AND THE FORECAST.
Frosty to Fantastic

4 weeks ago | wisn.com | Molly Bernard

7 A.M. 647. TURNING TO WEATHER RIGHT NOW, WE ARE GOING TO BE IN STORE FOR A GREAT WEEKEND TO BE OUTDOORS THIS MORNING. A LITTLE CHILLY, BUT IT’S GOING TO WARM UP RIGHT? YOU’LL WANT THE JACKET RIGHT NOW, BUT WE SHOULD BE IN THE 60S LATER THIS AFTERNOON, RIGHT AROUND 60. IF YOU’RE CLOSE TO THE LAKE, EVEN WARMER INLAND. SO GOING FROM FROSTY TO FANTASTIC, NOT JUST TODAY, BUT REALLY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. FROSTY THIS MORNING. AND I DO THINK THERE’S PATCHY FROST. LAKESIDE TO KICK OFF THE DAY TODAY.

WELL, WE’RE GOING TO SWITCH NOW TO WEATHERWATCH 12. THE LADY WHO YOU JUST SAW DO THAT REPORT IS GOING TO TELL US ABOUT THE WEATHER WE CAN EXPECT FOR TODAY, AND IT’S GOING TO BE MAYBE A LITTLE BIT COLD TO GET OUT ON THE WATER. BUT A NICE MAY DAY. YESTERDAY WE STARTED OFF WITH CLOUDS AND WE HAD SUN IN THE AFTERNOON. WE’RE GOING TO KIND OF SWITCH THAT AROUND. THERE’S SOME SUNSHINE CLOUDS THOUGH. ALREADY TRYING TO FILL IN. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT FROM THE SATELLITE AND RADAR IMAGE.
