*A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect Wednesday from 12 a.m.-6 p.m. Snowfall 1-5" and wind gusts of 45 mph will lead to reduced visibility and dangerous driving conditions​​*

Welcome to January with temps in the teens all day, wind chills at or below zero with west winds gusting to 40 mph and light snow showers. Areas north of Milwaukee have seen 1-2" of fluffy snow while Milwaukee and areas south have seen a trace. The gusty winds have created blowing and drifting snow in open areas and that will continue this evening with gusts to near 30 mph. We stay cloudy overnight with scattered flurries and the wind around 10-20 mph by morning. With lows in the single digits inland, wind chills could be as cold as -5. Thursday stays cloudy and breezy with a high of 20 in Milwaukee (teens elsewhere) and wind chills in the single digits. There is a chance for a few flurries and light snow showers during the day. A dusting of accumulation is expected.

Thursday night clears out and it gets cold with a low of 4 in Milwaukee to -5 inland. The wind is light, but wind chills will still be as cold as -10 to -20 in some areas. Friday is sunny and cold with a light breeze and highs only in the teens. A warm front arrives Friday night with rising temps after lows in the single digits. Saturday afternoon is cloudy and very windy with a high of 33 and gusts to 35 mph. There is a chance for scattered light freezing rain, sleet and light snow by evening. Accumulations will be minor. The cold front shifts the wind to the NW on Sunday and temps will drop into the single digits by late afternoon. It will be sunny, but wind chills are below zero all day.
