Thu Feb 06 11:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Wintry Mix and Strong Winds to Hit Southern Wisconsin, Weekend Snowstorm on the Horizon
**MADISON, Wis. (WMTV)** – Southern Wisconsin is bracing for a period of wintry weather, starting with a mix of freezing drizzle and light snow tonight. While snowfall accumulation will be minimal (less than an inch), icy conditions are expected on untreated roads, prompting warnings for drivers to allow extra travel time and exercise caution.
Thursday will bring strong northwest winds gusting up to 40 mph, creating blustery conditions and significantly lowering wind chills. Drivers are urged to use extra caution, especially on open highways.
The main concern is a significant winter storm anticipated for the weekend. Snow is expected to begin Saturday morning and continue into the evening, with at least an inch anticipated, and potentially higher totals north of Madison. The exact snowfall amount is still being determined.
Next week will bring a frigid Arctic blast, with daytime highs only in the teens and overnight lows falling below zero. Dangerous wind chills of -5 to -15°F are forecast, demanding residents dress warmly and take precautions to protect themselves from the cold. The WMTV15 News app and First Alert weather app offer updated forecasts.
