Saturday will start with a brisk morning, dipping into the upper 20s and low 30s. By mid‑day, a northerly breeze will keep the air fresh, but sunshine will dominate, pushing afternoon highs into the middle 40s. Thin clouds may drift across the sky, but they are unlikely to block the sun.
Sunday Forecast
Sunday improves on Saturday’s outlook. Morning lows will again be chilly, but the day will feature abundant sunshine and temperatures climbing into the upper 40s. The combination of clear skies and a gentle breeze makes Sunday ideal for a walk around the Capitol or a visit to the local farmers market.

Wednesday continues the upward climb, with afternoon highs reaching the mid‑50s. Thursday looks similarly mild, with temperatures potentially approaching the upper 50s. While clouds may increase slightly, the chance of rain remains low, offering a mostly dry stretch.
What This Means for Residents

As the week progresses, the warming trend will make it more comfortable for outdoor chores, garden preparation, and community events. Residents are encouraged to dress in layers for the cooler mornings and take advantage of the sunshine later in the day.
Safety Tips
Even with sunny skies, the low morning temperatures can create icy patches on sidewalks and roadways. Use caution when walking or driving, especially in shaded areas where frost may linger. Keep an eye on local road reports for any updates on icy conditions.
Overall, Madison can expect a beautiful stretch of November weather, with plenty of sunshine and a steady return to more comfortable temperatures next week.
