Milwaukeeans woke up to a frigid morning with wind chills sinking to potentially dangerous levels. According to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee, today's daylight hours are expected to bring a slight chance of snow followed by flurries, with a high near 17 degrees and wind chill values plummeting between -5 to -15. The National Weather Service issued a Cold Weather Advisory through 9 AM CST due to wind chill values nearing the minus 20-degree mark in areas across central to west-central Wisconsin.
Tonight, the skies are forecasted to clear, providing some respite from snowfall, but temperatures will be mostly clear with a low around 3 degrees, and wind chill values hovering between -5 and zero. Unexpectedly, the winter sun will be out to play on Wednesday, shining down on a still-chilled Milwaukee offering a high near 22 and wind chill values briskly dancing between -5 and 5 degrees, as reported by the National Weather Service.
As we venture into Wednesday night, the likelihood of snow edges up slightly, with a 20 percent chance of snow post-midnight. The city is set for a mix of cloudy skies and colder flows with a low rounding out around 16 degrees, while southwest winds at 10 to 15 mph are expected to contribute their usual wintry bite. By Thursday, the pendulum swings toward slightly warmer conditions as Milwaukee heads to a partly sunny high near 36, complemented by a primarily stable west wind of 10 to 15 mph, as stated by the National Weather Service.
There’s a 20% chance of rain Friday night into Saturday. By Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Milwaukee will be mostly sunny but very cold, with a high around 7 degrees. Be prepared for the cold if you're heading out.
