Southeast Wisconsin – As the unofficial end to summer approaches, residents of Southeast Wisconsin can look forward to a bright and sunny Labor Day weekend with comfortable temperatures in the mid to upper 70s. This marks the continuation of a rare stretch this season, with eight consecutive days of below-average temperatures delivering a refreshing, fall-like atmosphere to the region.
With high pressure systems establishing clear skies and mild weather, outdoor plans for the holiday weekend will be well-supported. However, this pleasant spell won’t last long, as changing weather conditions are expected to bring cooler and wetter weather midweek.
A Beautiful and Comfortable Labor Day Weekend
The coming days promise sunny skies and mild temperatures, providing ideal conditions for Southeast Wisconsin residents to enjoy the holiday weekend. Here’s what to expect:
- Sunday: Sunny and beautiful with highs around 75°F and light east winds at 5 mph.
- Monday (Labor Day): Continuation of sunny skies and warm temperatures near 76°F, perfect for outdoor activities and gatherings.
- Tuesday: Mostly sunny with highs climbing to around 79°F, just in time for many local schools starting back.
The consistent sunny conditions and mild temperatures offer a break from the summer heat, making it one of the most comfortable periods this season.
Changing Weather Midweek: Rain and Cooler Temperatures Incoming
