Since there are so many changes occurring in the skies of Milwaukee this week, including abrupt transitions between showers and warm temperatures, it is almost impossible to keep up with the weird weather forecast.

Election Day in Milwaukee begins calmly, with highs expected in the low to mid 50s. There will be a chance to observe the blood moon on Monday night and into Tuesday.

The moon will appear red during the total lunar eclipse, which begins at 3:17 AM and lasts for about an hour and a half. The moon will pass through the shadow of the Earth during this type of eclipse. The good news is that observers of the sky can see it with the unaided eye.

By Wednesday, things start to become a little uneasy because showers start to appear by the middle of the morning, mainly along I-94 in the north. However, the showers won't last long because a warm front will be moving through the region and lifting to the north.

A potent cold front will pass through Milwaukee by Thursday. On Thursday, expect showers and possibly some thunder, followed by a significant cooling off on Friday, Veterans Day. According to 58 WDJT Milwaukee, the weekend's highs will only be in the chilly near 40s.

Milwaukee Weather Alert

The Weather Channel reports that from 3 AM Tuesday to 6 PM CST Wednesday, a small craft advisory will be in effect over nearshore waters between North Point Lighthouse and Winthrop Harbor, Illinois. The National Weather Service office in Milwaukee/Sullivan issued the weather alert. Small craft will be at risk, and inexperienced navigators, particularly those in charge of smaller boats, should stay out of dangerous situations.
