Very mild this morning, but high temperatures tomorrow won’t even come close to approaching what we’re currently seeing.
We promise we won’t make the cliched joke about temperatures dropping from 60 to 45 like they saw a state trooper.

It's feeling nice across the state this afternoon - with highs in the 50s and 60s, but a cold front comes through this weekend and brings us back to more seasonable conditions.

It's been chilly for several hundred hours across Wisconsin since October 1.
But what is chilly?
When we count the number of chill hours for fruit producers, that's any hour that averages between 32° and 45° Fahrenheit between October and February.
Your Friday science lesson.

The cloud forecast for Wisconsin is looking better for tonight, so if the aurora is out - we need to see your pictures and time lapses!
We have upgraded our geomagnetic forecast today (12 November 2025) to the highest intensity level amid an ongoing solar storm.
Current predictions suggest that the activity will result in potentially the largest solar storm to hit our planet in over two decades.

If you’re in southwestern Wisconsin, go out and look at the aurora.
If you’re anywhere else in Wisconsin, don’t look at social media unless you really want to be jealous.

Chilly start to Veterans Day across Wisconsin, but it's actually a bit warmer than this time yesterday.
We've seen some pockets of snowfall this morning across the state and there are some slick spots out there - so take it easy on the drive in to work.

This map of storm reports shows just how localized lake effect snow can be.
It's all highly dependent on where the band comes in, and you can see a significant gradient of snow accumulations over just a couple miles.

Some parts of the state are waking up to snow on the ground on this cold November 9.
While not a big snowmaker, it’s the first measurable snowfall across southern Wisconsin, and wind chills have dipped into the single digits and teens across the state.
Stay warm this weekend!
