The Milwaukee area will see light snow all day as the region experiences another round of frigid temperatures. Flurries will move across southern Wisconsin throughout the early morning on Wednesday, followed by light snow showers until 2 or 3 a.

The Extreme Cold Warning is in effect until noon. Wind chills will remain below zero until Wednesday afternoon.

Milwaukee had its coldest Jan. 21 since 1984 on Tuesday as the city, along with the rest of the state, was under a dangerous Extreme Cold Warning. According to Milwaukee-Sullivan National Weather Service meteorologist Taylor Patterson, Milwaukee reached its lowest air temperature of the day at 7:34 a.m., at minus-10.

Milwaukee faced extreme wind chills and a cold weather advisory, with a slight chance of snow and low temperatures forecasted.

Milwaukee will kick off this week with the most extreme cold of the winter so far. During the coldest periods, wind chill is forecast to range between -15 and -30 degrees. That's well beyond the threshold for developing frostbite and other adverse health symptoms from cold-weather exposure.

The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's office is investigating the death of an 80-year-old man who likely died of hypothermia early Sunday morning.

For those without shelter, the Milwaukee Coalition on Housing and Homelessness operates seven warming centers across the city.

The center at 12th and Vliet is open from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday due to the cold. Nick Tomaro with the Milwaukee Health Department said more than 100 people took advantage of the center on day one. Darnell Bonner said on Sunday, he was rushed to the hospital for hypothermia while waiting for a shelter to open.

As wind chills hit dangerous levels, the decision to close schools becomes critical. Kevin Wagner, a lead meteorologist with the National Weather Service, explains how those decisions are made.

Bitterly cold temperatures and wind chills as low as -32F are expected during this period, posing significant health risks, including frostbite and hypothermia.

An "artic air mass" will be moving into the region from Canada as we head into the weekend, causing temperatures to tumble.

Following light snow and continued chill this weekend, Wisconsin will start feeling much warmer temperatures, according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service. High temperatures will approach 40 by Monday.
