Wisconsin Weather: Frigid Cold, Snow Chances, and Forecast Update

Frigid Temperatures and Wind Chills

• 🥶 Frigid conditions are present in the afternoon and evening, with temperatures already hitting 2° in Oshkosh and 6° in Fond du Lac.
• 💨 Southwest winds are picking up, leading to sub-zero wind chills, feeling like 7 below in Fond du Lac, 5 below in Appleton, and 9 below in Oshkosh.
• 🌡️ Warmer weather is expected to begin working in from the west overnight, causing wind chills to rise.

Upcoming Snowfall Forecast

• 🌨️ An area of low pressure is bringing snow to the region, with initial clouds and a couple of flurries expected tomorrow morning.
• ❄️ A more significant period of snow is anticipated tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow night, similar to recent days, with accumulations of half an inch to an inch.
• 📈 Temperatures are predicted to climb, with most locations being twice as warm as today, though still 10° below normal.

Persistent Cold Pattern and Future Snow

• 🔄 The overall weather pattern shows no end in sight, with the jet stream locked in place and a trough across the eastern half of the country, meaning continued cold air.
• ☃️ This persistent cold air increases the chances for more snow, and the winter has already seen a quick start with 7.1 inches, which is above normal.
• 🗓️ Over the next seven days, there will be many chances for snow, with potentially more substantial accumulations possible early next week from stronger Alberta Clippers.

3° Guarantee and 7-Day Outlook

• ✅ Cameron's 3° guarantee for tomorrow is 26°, with a donation of $100 to the Oshkosh area community pantry if the high is hit within three degrees (which was achieved today with a forecast of 12° and an actual high of 12°).
• 📉 The 7-day forecast indicates a slight warmup tomorrow, followed by cooler weather on Saturday and Sunday with highs only in the teens.
• 🌦️ Temperatures are expected to warm up slightly Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, which will bring better chances for accumulating snow as stronger systems move in from the north and west.
