Wisconsin Weather: Frigid Temperatures Arrive Today

MILWAUKEE, WI — The temperatures are going to drop in a hurry, and with it will come slippery roads and some icy weather, the National Weather says.

According to the National Weather Service, daytime temperatures in the 40s will give way to wind chills in the teens this evening.

Cold road surface temperatures may result in some light freezing drizzle and scattered slippery stretches.

Rain will transition over to snow from northwest to southeast this afternoon, and a period of freezing rain is possible toward the evening. Motorists should be prepared for changing conditions as colder air pushes into the region today and tonight, weather officials said.
