Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell
MILWAUKEE - Southern Wisconsin slides into a cold but calmer stretch today. The wind backs off compared to earlier this week, but the cold sticks around.
A weak clipper moves in late this afternoon and tonight with light snow, and we’ll keep dodging occasional snow chances through the weekend.
There’s also a low-confidence window for patchy freezing drizzle tonight into early Friday, so a few slick spots aren’t off the table.
Another shot of Arctic air pours in this weekend, setting up what looks like the coldest stretch of the season so far from Sunday through Tuesday.
