Freezing Breezes: Winter Hits WisQatch-nox State with a Chill

As we enter the new year, Wisconsin is bracing for a cold snap. After a relatively warm start to January, temperatures are finally dipping below average. This shift is due to the jet stream pushing down from Canada, all the way to the central and eastern U. S. An arctic high-pressure system over Alberta is setting the tone for Wisconsin's weather. The state is expected to stay in a northwest flow, even into next week. While it won't be too sunny, temperatures will hover well below what's typical for this time of year.Unfortunately, the cold won't be the only thing to worry about. Northwest winds are expected to stick around, creating brutal wind chills that could go sub-zero over the weekend. So, it's a good time to bundle up, folks! Looking ahead, the weather pattern seems to be here to stay. Temperatures will likely stay below average, with the possibility of some snow showers by the end of the week. Make sure to stay updated with your local weather forecast.
