We have been talking about this cold for a few days, but it is finally time for us to feel the cold.
An Extreme Cold Warning will be in effect from midnight until 1 p.m. Friday. Wind chills may reach between -30 and -40 during this period, with the coldest being early Friday morning. Frostbite could occur in as little as 10 minutes.
An Extreme Cold Watch is in place for the remainder of Friday afternoon into Saturday morning. Wind chills will still be around or below -20.
Watch: When the worst wind chills will roll through
Highs on Friday will not climb above 0. This will be the coldest day in Milwaukee in roughly 5 years.
A major winter storm passes to our South over the weekend. Southern Wisconsin may catch a few light snow showers late Saturday into Sunday.
Highs will slowly climb back into the teens early next week.
Again, this is climatologically the coldest time of year. This doesn't mean we see this type of cold every winter.
