...MUCH COLDER WEATHER ON THE WAY...

THE CENTER OF THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT BROUGHT SEVERAL DAYS OF
WINTRY WEATHER TO THE AREA WILL TRACK NORTHEAST ACROSS WISCONSIN THIS
EVENING. A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE WEATHER WILL OCCUR ONCE THE SYSTEM
STARTS TO PULL AWAY TO THE NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT.

WINDS WILL TURN TO THE WEST AND INCREASE. THE INCREASE IN WINDS WILL BE
MOST ABRUPT OVER EAST-CENTRAL WISCONSIN...WHERE A BRIEF PERIOD OF WIND
GUSTS TO 40 MPH IS POSSIBLE AROUND THE MIDNIGHT HOUR. ACROSS THE REST OF
THE AREA AND ONCE THE INITIAL SURGE OF WIND HAS PASSED IN EAST-CENTRAL
WISCONSIN...WINDS WILL SETTLE IN FROM THE WEST AT 15 TO 25 MPH WITH
GUSTS TO 35 MPH. THOSE WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY ON
THURSDAY.

THE WINDS WILL BE USHERING MUCH COLDER AIR INTO THE AREA. READINGS
ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL WISCONSIN MAY CREEP UP ANOTHER DEGREE OR TWO EARLY
THIS EVENING...THEN WILL START DOWNWARD...LIKELY FALLING INTO THE MIDDLE
TEENS BY DAYBREAK. READINGS IN CENTRAL WISCONSIN WILL LIKELY FALL BELOW
FREEZING AROUND MIDNIGHT. IN THE EAST...THEY WILL FALL BELOW FREEZING
BETWEEN 200 AM AND 400 AM.  AS A RESULT...THE SLUSHY SNOW PILES LEFT
OVER FROM TUESDAYS SNOWS ARE LIKELY TO FREEZE IN PLACE AND WILL BE
DIFFICULT TO MOVE AFTER THIS EVENING. IF AT ALL POSSIBLE...ANY REMOVAL
OR MOVING OF THE SNOW SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE THE TEMPERATURE DROP OCCURS
LATER TONIGHT.

ONCE TEMPERATURES FALL BELOW FREEZING...THEY ARE LIKELY TO REMAIN THERE
FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT 7 DAYS. SUB-ZERO WIND CHILL INDICES ARE EXPECTED
ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA BY FRIDAY MORNING.

THE PRECIPITATION THAT WAS OCCURRING ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING WILL
TAPER OFF AND END WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE LOW. THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD
END BEFORE TEMPERATURES DROP TO LEVELS THAT WOULD CAUSE IT TO CHANGE
BACK TO SNOW...THOUGH SOME AREAS IN CENTRAL WISCONSIN THAT WERE
RECEIVING RAIN THIS EVENING COULD SEE THE PRECIPITATION CHANGE BACK TO
FREEZING DRIZZLE FOR A TIME BEFORE ENDING.
