Milwaukee, WI – A deep Arctic freeze will grip Wisconsin this week, bringing dangerous wind chills and additional snowfall that could impact travel. With temperatures dropping below zero and wind chills plummeting further, residents should prepare for hazardous conditions, especially on Monday.
According to the National Weather Service, snow will continue into Sunday morning, with additional accumulations of 1 to 3 inches expected across east-central and southeastern Wisconsin. Winds will shift northwest by Sunday, ushering in frigid air that will send wind chills well below zero overnight. Monday, Washington’s Birthday, will remain bitterly cold, with highs struggling to reach 8°F.
Road conditions could be treacherous, particularly on I-94 and I-43, as slick surfaces and blowing snow reduce visibility. Officials urge drivers to slow down, use caution, and check road conditions before heading out.
Looking ahead, the Arctic chill will persist into midweek, with nighttime lows near -5°F and daytime highs barely reaching single digits. Warmer temperatures may not return until later in the week.
Stay updated with the latest forecasts and follow local advisories to ensure safety during this extreme cold snap.
