Milwaukee, WI – A Winter Weather Advisory and Cold Weather Advisory remain in effect across southern Wisconsin as dangerously low wind chills and light snow move in Sunday evening.
According to the National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan, 1–2 inches of snow are expected this afternoon, followed by plunging temperatures and wind chills between -20°F and -30°F. The coldest period is expected from 3 a.m. to 9 a.m. Monday, with wind gusts up to 40 mph, creating blowing and drifting snow and sharply reduced visibility.
