The National Weather Service in Milwaukee has issued a cold weather advisory for Wisconsin, warning of dangerously cold temperatures. Wind chills have dropped to 25 degrees below zero this morning and are expected to reach 29 below tonight into Tuesday morning. The advisory is in effect until 11 AM CST today, with another starting at 9 PM tonight through noon CST Tuesday. The cold weather is challenging for even the toughest residents, according to the National Weather Service.
The National Weather Service advises wearing hats, gloves, and warm clothing if going outside, as the cold could cause frostbite in as little as 30 minutes. The cold weather affects east central, south central, and southeast Wisconsin, including cities like Racine, Kenosha, Westfield, and Milwaukee. With wind chills that low, it's important to wear multiple layers for protection against the extreme cold.
The cold weather advisory continues into Tuesday morning, with wind chills between -20 and -29 degrees. Some areas could even feel as cold as -30 degrees, though this may be brief. Looking ahead, the weather outlook remains cautious for the rest of the week. After the Cold Weather Advisory ends tomorrow, expect mostly cloudy skies and a 30% chance of snow by Wednesday night. By the weekend, temperatures will rise slightly, with highs in the mid-30s on Sunday, offering a break from the extreme cold, as per the National Weather Service.
