Southeast Wisconsin weather: Temperatures tumble, wind chills drop below zero

Overnight arctic air settles across Wisconsin and a wind chill will bring the temperatures into the negatives early into the week.
and last updated

The snow forecast for Sunday morning was a bust thanks to dry air, and the afternoon brought mild enough temperatures that drizzle mixed with light snow. Sunday evening a few wintry showers are possible but overnight will be dry with some clearing. Falling temperatures will be the big story as arctic air begins to settle in across Wisconsin. As temperatures drop into the teens and eventually single digits by early Monday, surfaces that are wet will refreeze. Untreated roads and sidewalks will become slippery; take it easy on the roads tonight and early Monday.

Monday morning wind chills will range from -5 to -15°, with air temperatures in the single digits. Make sure to bundle up before heading out to work or school. The day will remain breezy and cold, highs will be in the teens, but wind chills will be in the single digits above and below zero. We are expecting to see some sunshine.

Tuesday morning will be the coldest timeframe in the short term, with wind chills dropping as low as -20°. Tuesday afternoon remains breezy and cold with highs again in the teens.

Wednesday temperatures begin to rebound with highs in the 20s. Winds will turn more southerly late in the week, boosting temperatures into the upper 30s Thursday and Friday.

We may see a few snow showers here by next weekend, but the overall snow forecast doesn't look great for snow lovers.
