Madison residents should brace for a cold start to the weekend. Friday night temperatures are expected to dip into the 20s, while Saturday morning will feel brisk with highs only in the low‑to‑mid 40s.
Saturday and Sunday outlook
Saturday will remain chilly, but the day will bring more sunshine, lighter winds and dry conditions. Sunday should feel a bit more comfortable as temperatures in some neighborhoods approach 50 degrees.
Looking ahead to next week
Temperatures are set to climb back into the 50s early next week, with Wednesday potentially reaching the mid‑to‑upper 50s and even flirting with 60 degrees in a few spots. The warming trend offers a pleasant break from typical November cold.
Rain chances return later in the week. A weather system may bring rain Wednesday night into Thursday, though the exact timing and amount remain uncertain. Another system could follow as Thanksgiving approaches.
Winter Weather Awareness Week
Monday marks the start of Wisconsin’s Winter Weather Awareness Week. Throughout the week, local officials will explain the differences between winter weather advisories, watches and warnings, and offer tips on staying safe during dangerous wind chills.
For now, residents can enjoy several days of dry weather, sunshine and a gradual warmup before the next system arrives. No immediate need for snow shovels or concerns about slippery roads.
