Dangerous wind chills are prompting advisories across several regions, with some schools delaying classes.

Overview

  • Southeast Wisconsin expects 1–3 inches of snow Tuesday night into early Wednesday, with slick roads possible for the late-night and morning commute as model tracks vary.
  • New England and the Northeast are bracing for some of the season’s coldest air this weekend, with highs stuck in the teens and subzero wind chills following midweek snow showers.
  • Model guidance signals a developing system that could spread snow and ice from Texas and Oklahoma through the Carolinas this weekend, though the northern reach remains uncertain.
  • Forecasters warn against early high snowfall totals, noting that a 50–100 mile track shift and the placement of strong high pressure could change precipitation type and impacts.
  • Subzero wind chills are triggering Cold Weather Advisories and school delays in areas such as Greater Cincinnati, with officials urging precautions for frostbite risk and hazardous travel.
