The National Weather Service has issued a wind chill advisory in effect from midnight Friday night to 6:00 a.m. Sunday.

A very cold airmass will be moving into southern Wisconsin Friday night and Saturday.

A wind chill advisory is issued when the combination of very cold air temperatures, and winds of 10 mph or greater, will create hazardous wind chill values of between 20 below to 34 below zero for 3 hours or longer. These conditions will result in frost bite, and could lead to hypothermia, if precautions are not taken.
