MADISON, Wis. For the fourth time in the last two weeks, a winter storm may bring accumulating snows to parts of southern Wisconsin. This time, a push of bitter cold is set to follow, and it could be the coldest period since the snap of January 2019, which was influenced by the Polar Vortex. As a result, the News 3 Now First Warn Weather Team has deemed Thursday, and Saturday through Tuesday, ALERT days.
TIMING AND IMPACTS:
As of now, this system looks to arrive during the morning hours of Thursday in the west, and spreading eastward towards Madison during the lunchtime hours.
