Winds Causing Plenty of Problems Tonight

Wind Gusts as of 10:00pm
Winds have really picked up since late this afternoon, and it will cause several problems during the overnight. Wind gusts as of 10:00pm were still upwards of 30-35mph in many spots.

These winds will cause some blowing and drifting snow, especially on north-south roads. Limited visibilities could also result from the blowing snow, so the National Weather Service in Milwaukee has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for southern Wisconsin until 10:00am Tuesday. If you're out on the roads, be aware of road conditions going downhill in a hurry in isolated spots.

RPM Model: Tuesday Morning Wind Chills
The bigger concern over the next couple nights will be the wind chills. With strong winds and lows tonight in the low teens, wind chills will be below zero. Expect sub-zero wind chills the next couple of nights, as well, as cold air continues to dominate the forecast.
