DIFFERENT TOO. It’s not a day for hanging out at all. WHAT’S GOING ON HERE? WE HAVE SNOW FALLING UP SIDES. Anyway, we still have a little snow. It just won’t stop. We get these little pockets where we get these floods. THAT’S REALLY A LOT, BUT COULD BE JUST ENOUGH TO GIVE YOU A FEW MORE Slick Spots OUT THERE. So that was downtown Milwaukee. QUIET HERE. BUT COLD CARROLL UNIVERSITY NOW AT 12 DEGREES. IT’S COLD ENOUGH NOW THAT THE REGULAR SALT THAT THE TEAMS SPREAD ON THE WALKWAYS HERE NO LONGER WORKS. And so you’re going to get a few slick spots, especially on the driveways, sidewalks, and side streets. 12 DEGREES IN PEWAUKEE. This is our newest camera from the chocolate factory. This is PEWAUKEE LAKE. YES. It will start to freeze, but always make sure you know how thick the ice is before you head out and again be aware of it. At these dropping temperatures, salt no longer works as well, especially at temperatures that drop into the single digits. The light snow showers are still hanging around here. We’ll have them for another hour or so and then they’ll be gone. COLD WEATHER ADVICE. IT’S NEW. It’s just a new name for what was once known as the wind chill advisory. That means the same wind chill temperatures of up to 20 degrees below zero will trigger the cold weather advisory. Not quite there, but probably 17 to 18 degrees below zero. AND RACINE, KENOSHA AND WALWORTH COUNTY IN MILWAUKEE THE MORNING TEMPERATURE FIVE. COOL WIND 15 DEGREES BELOW ZERO. PLEASE LIMIT YOUR TIME OUTSIDE. Make sure you do your research on these neighbors. AND DON’T FORGET YOUR PETS. In this weather they can’t be outside for long at all. COOL WIND IN THE MORNING. EVERYWHERE FROM 15 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW ZERO. The low temperatures are by far the coldest, so we have seen temperatures near zero in some places. Tomorrow’s highs don’t really rise that much. BUT HERE’S THE THING. It’s a one-day, really cold event. And then we turn it around again. Temperatures will be above freezing as we head into Friday late afternoon. COLDEST SO FAR THIS SEASON. FIRST COLD WEATHER RECOMMENDATION WE EVER HAVE. And again, limit your time outside. MANY, MANY LAYERS. MAKE SURE YOUR CHILDREN DO NOT WAIT LONG FOR THE BUS. INDOOR TOMORROW BECAUSE IT’S JUST TOO COLD OUTSIDE ON FRIDAY. THEN A SYSTEM MOVES HERE THAT BRINGS A SMALL MIXTURE THAT SWITCHES TO RAIN. IT WILL NOT BE A PLEASANT DAY ON SATURDAY. Sunday seems to be the better of the two days of the weekend. HERE IS THE NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW. NOW VIEW THE TIME PERIOD HERE. IT REALLY HOLDS BACK. I’ll hold off until Saturday. THE LATEST MOVEMENTS IN EVERY TIME WE HAVE TO BRING THE WARM AIR. And so it looks more and more likely. This will be primarily a rain event, there could be a little mixing to begin with. TOMORROW COLD WEATHER RECOMMENDED UNTIL 10 AM. Cold all day, with clouds increasing on Friday and Saturday. NOT THE FINEST DAY. The morning might end up being okay. AND THEN SUNDAY LOOKS GOOD. There is a chance of light rain on Monday. TUESDAY IS A QUIET DAY AND THEN THERE IS A CHANCE FOR LIGHT SNOW

Snow continued to fall in places on Wednesday evening, but the bigger weather issue is the Arctic front, which is bringing bitterly cold temperatures. The first-ever cold warning has been issued and is in effect from 10 p.m. Wednesday through 10 a.m. Thursday for the entire area except Racine and Kenosha counties. It will still be cold in these counties, but wind chills will remain slightly warmer than -20. Wind chill values ​​could reach 20 degrees below zero early Thursday morning. The Arctic high pressure system will bring clear skies and high temperatures only reaching the teens on Thursday. Friday will start in the single digits but will be dry. It should reach the 30s later in the day. Looking ahead to the weekend, a weather system approaching Saturday will bring mixed precipitation before transitioning to rain, possibly lasting into Saturday night. Sunday will be quiet, with highs around 40 degrees.
