A very cold start to Saturday morning with wind chills ranging from -5? to -15? below zero. Mostly sunny during the day with highs temps in the upper teens but wind chills -5? to 5?. Partly sunny and still cold on Sunday with highs in the low 20s. A big low pressure system will stay south of Wisconsin Sunday, but as it moves east, winds will transition off of the lake and could bring lake effect snow late Sunday night into early Monday morning. Accumulating snowfall is possible. Sub-freezing high temperatures remain in the forecast for the rest of the week which is 5 to 10 degrees below average for this time of year.

How much ice does it take to knock out power, damage trees?
While it only takes a thin coating of ice to cause travel nightmares for motorists, it takes a heavier accretion of ice to damage trees and power lines, and the severity of the damage depends on how much weight is added by the ice.

Cooler air dominates our forecast for a few days. The high pressure ridge to our north helps push more active weather south. Other than a few flurries this morning, we are relatively precipitation free through the end of the week as a low passes through Illinois into Indiana. We stay cold through the longer range with each day being a few degrees below average. Extended range outlooks also remain cool with the 8-14 day temperature trend leaning toward cooler conditions through mid month.
