MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) – Happy New Year! As expected, a big pattern change is underway as we welcome January. This includes a very wintry stretch of weather. While the Arctic air is a certainty at this point, snow chances look to be a little harder to come by. Flurries continue to be possible into tonight. A system passing south on Thursday may bring snow showers to extreme southern Wisconsin. Cold and breezy weather expected through the weekend and most of next week.
