Coldest Weather of the Season Heading Our Way!!

    You thought Winter started because of a few snow showers and the arrival of Christmas music didn’t you?  False.  In other words, enjoy the next two days because the coldest weather of the season will wonder our way.

    A cold front will sweep across the area helping to drop temperatures well before normal.  This cold arctic air will drift into Wisconsin by mid week bringing nighttime lows into the teens, a few spots could see single digits.  By Thursday, the arctic air will plunge southward and Friday looks to be the coldest day of the week.  Milwaukee and Madison will be in the mid-20’s, Green Bay in the low-20’s, Eau Claire/La Crosse and Chicago in the mid-upper 20’s. 

    No significant precipitation is expected this week since we’ll have northwest winds and dry conditions --- lakeshore communities will see lake effect snow today and tomorrow.  Nothing more then an inch of snow will be expected in those areas. 

    Once we get through this cool spell this week, by early next week we’ll see a warming trend and temperatures again above normal for this time of the year.
