It’s a windy day! West-southwest winds are gusting around 40 mph at times. Those winds may be stronger down the Lake Michigan shoreline. The National Weather Service has issued a Wind Advisory from Sheboygan County, south into the Milwaukee metro area. Regardless, the strong winds may cause issues for drivers, especially on bridges and overpasses. The wind could also break tree branches, causing isolated power outages. Today’s severe weather outlook is LOW.
The wind is also ushering in a milder Monday. Afternoon high temperatures will rise into the 30s across northern Wisconsin. Areas from Green Bay and south could sneak above 40 degrees.

The wind is increasing ahead of a moisture-starved cold front that’s arriving from Canada. As this boundary approaches, clouds will thicken and lower this afternoon. Snow showers will be possible evening. Some may be briefly heavy as they push through the area…
