The forecast for Milwaukee, Waukesha and SE Wisconsin is for sunshine and highs in the lower 20s, but wind chills will remain in the single digits all day thanks to a SW wind at 10-20mph.

A cold front moves through overnight with a dusting of snow, but it brings the coldest temperatures of the season so far with lows in the single digits tonight and wind chills near -10 by morning.  Highs on Thursday will struggle to hit 10 despite sunshine and brisk winds will keep wind chills between -5 and -15 all day.

Thursday night is the coldest of the season so far as temperatures drop below zero, even in Milwaukee with a low of -1.  At least the wind becomes light.

Another storm system moves in for Friday and snow is likely with highs in the teens.  SE Wisconsin is expecting 2-5" of snow during the day on Friday with a light wind.

Saturday looks nice with sunshine and highs in the 20s and it will get above freezing on Sunday with a rain/snow mix likely.
