Brace for a Chilly Week in Western Wisconsin

Western Wisconsin has been basking in mild weather lately, with temperatures hovering in the low to mid-40s. But, as we roll into 2025, expect a big change. A blast of cold air is on the way, dropping temperatures to the mid-20s by Wednesday and even down to the teens by next weekend. Today, we'll see patchy drizzle and fog, with dense fog returning tonight. The week ahead looks dry with some sunshine peeking through. Keep an eye out for a storm system passing to the south on Monday, which will bring breezy northwest winds and make wind chill a factor. Looking ahead, the first half of January is expected to stay cold, with temperatures below average. Will this cold spell bring any wintry weather? That's still up in the air, but it's something to watch as we welcome the new year. For a detailed forecast, check out the First Alert weather page or download the 13 First Alert weather app.
