Milwaukee's temperature hit 61 degrees on Sunday, breaking by 7 degrees a record high for the day that had been in place for more than 100 years, the National Weather Service reported.

But it will be much colder the rest of the week, and we could have snow on Monday.

The previous high temperature record for Feb. 28 was 54 and was set in 1895, according to the weather service.

It was a warm weekend overall. The high on Saturday was 57 in Milwaukee — not quite high enough for a record but still about 20 degrees warmer than normal.

On Sunday, winds from the southwest helped keep temperatures mild during the day.

But clouds pushed by winds from the west increased as a cold front approached southern Wisconsin.

On Tuesday, expect a high of 32 and a low of 20.

Two to 3 inches of snow are possible in southern Milwaukee and Racine and Kenosha counties through Tuesday.
