January thaw, you're right on time...

 

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A lot of times, if we're going to have a January thaw, it'll be the last week of the month.  This year, it's right on cue.  Look for lots of 30s and 40s this week.  It's a nice change from the extreme cold of last week.  I think the warmest we'll get will be the low 40s on Thursday.  In terms of precipitation, we have a few slight chances.  Could see some flurry/drizzle action Monday afternoon into the evening.  Then there' a better chance of rain on Friday followed by another shot of some mix on Sunday, Groundhog Day.  

Another mention on Monday will be the wind. In fact, we have a Wind Advisory for a good part of Monday for most of the area except Fond du Lac, Jefferson, and Dodge Counties.  45 mph gusts from the southwest are possible, making it feel much colder.  The winds will gradually die down as we proceed through the week.  

One more fun mention.  The first 5 p.m. sunset for the season will be on Tuesday.  Another sure sign spring is just around the corner.
