The National Weather Service in Milwaukee has issued a warning for harsh winter weather in the coming days. Current temperatures are 3°F, with wind chills making it feel like -16°F.

The National Weather Service forecasts sunny skies today, but temperatures will only reach around 13°F. Wind chills will make it feel between -10°F and -20°F due to a 10-15 mph west wind. Tonight, conditions will stay mostly clear with lows around 5°F, but wind chills will make it feel between -5°F and 0°F.

Friday calls for sunny skies with a high around 25°F. However, by Friday night, temperatures will rise, and southern Wisconsin can expect rain and possibly mixed precipitation over the weekend. Southeast winds will strengthen, and there is a 60% chance of rain on Saturday, with expected rainfall between a tenth and a quarter of an inch.

The main concern is late Friday night and early Saturday morning, when freezing rain is expected in south-central Wisconsin. The National Weather Service warns that mixed precipitation will occur, followed by rain in the afternoon and evening. Light ice accumulation may occur in south-central Wisconsin. A 90% chance of rain is expected on Saturday night, with rainfall between a quarter and half an inch. There's a 60% chance of rain on Monday, with possible rain continuing into Tuesday, though with lower chances.

A hazardous weather outlook has been issued for areas like Marquette, Green Lake, and Fond du Lac, warning of wind chills between -12°F and -25°F until 10 AM CST on Thursday.

As cold and snowy weather settles in, residents are urged to dress warmly, limit time outdoors, and stay updated on local weather reports.
