Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeIn the wake of a powerful winter storm, strong northwest winds and bitter cold air combined to generate low wind chill values across parts of south-central and southeast Wisconsin. Air temperatures were in the -3F to -8F range and northwest winds were on the order of 10 to 18 knots (12 to 21 mph) with peak gusts of 20 to 27 knots (23 to 31 mph). Wind chill values dropped to -28F to -35F for 3 hours or more. However, Monroe in Green County did have a low chill value of -37 for one hour. Synoptically, a strong low pressure moved northeast through Minnesota while a strong cold front swept southeast through Wisconsin on the 29th. Another low pressure developed along the cold front while it was over northern Illinois on the 30th, which led to a tightening pressure gradient and stronger winds over southern Wisconsin.
