Mild weather is in our future. Winter cold and snow will be hard to find.

22/01/2024

We are tracking milder weather. Find out how mild.

Get ready for a lot of grey skies and milder temps. It will be mild enough this week that the chance of rain is higher than the chance of snow.

21/01/2024

We have seen some changes with the wintry system moving in on Tuesday. Because of that, we're lowering our snow forecast, but we're also introducing the possibility of some freezing drizzle - this could make for some icy conditions in spots late Monday night and into Tuesday, especially in the morning.

21/01/2024

Our next chance for snow arrives early Tuesday morning. There are still a lot of things that could happen that could change the amount of snow we'll see, but with what we know right now, here's what we expect. Snow will begin by sunrise and fall gradually throughout the day, especially south of Marathon County. While we expect the heaviest totals to fall to the south, there is a possibility that some rain could mix in to the south, which would obviously cut into the total snow. Temperatures will also be near freezing all day for all of us, so if temperatures climb just a degree or two, we could see less. Still - this is what our most likely outcome is right now with the information that we know.

20/01/2024

Warmer air will arrive soon (look forward to Monday if you want it!) but tonight we still have a Wind Chill Advisory in effect - wind chills will drop to -20 to -25 below zero overnight into early Sunday morning.

19/01/2024

It is cold today in 2024, but it was quite different way back in 1908 when we had a record high of 50. It was part of a big January thaw that year.

Nice to see the sun today on our and a beautiful pink sunset! More cold and dry weather is on the way until we hit the end of the week.

16/01/2024

Due to the snow last week, we are no longer on pace to break the "least" snow record in Wausau. Now in second place. With not much snow in the forecast, we might still end up pretty high on the list. What do you think?

16/01/2024

Will today be as cold as yesterday?

More frigid conditions for today, then it will be slightly better for the rest of the week. Not much snow is in the forecast and it will turn a lot

Take a look at the cold weather forecast for this week.

The coldest weather of the Winter season so far has moved into our area and it will stick around for a few days. The cold air is also quite dry,

14/01/2024

For most of us, today is our coldest day in almost a year - these are our temperatures and wind chills as of 3:00 this afternoon. Wind chill advisories are in effect through tomorrow morning, but it's very likely that they'll be extended into Monday night and Tuesday as well.

13/01/2024

Here is a list of snowfall reports from around the area. As expected, the heaviest snow fell south and east of Stevens Point. From Wausau to the north, some drier air worked in, which cut down on the snow totals just a bit. Still though, in most areas, the storm ended up playing out pretty close to what was expected when you look at the final numbers - a map of what happened and what we expected is included here.

13/01/2024

Do you have snow to shovel? Don't procrastinate, get it done as soon as possible. Temperatures will drop starting this afternoon, and any snow that isn't shoveled will become very icy and hard to clear. Get it done this morning - you won't regret it.

13/01/2024

Most of the accumulating snow is finished, but we still have a Winter Weather Advisory in effect until noon for most of the area, due to the chance of blowing and drifting snow. Lake effect snow will also continue in the snowbelts through the day, with several more inches possible, especially in northern Iron county. Also, if you've seen our forecast high for today, don't be fooled... temperatures will drop through the afternoon, likely into the single digits by early evening. Winter is fashionably late this year, but it's here!

13/01/2024

Here is what we're expecting for additional snowfall - from 7PM this evening into Saturday morning. How much have you seen in your neighborhood so far?

12/01/2024

In addition to a few inches of snow, the northeast winds will be gusting to 30 and 40 mph later this afternoon and evening. This will cause hazardous driving conditions. Try to avoid traveling later this afternoon or evening.

12/01/2024

The snow forecast has increased by a couple of inches since yesterday morning's outlook. Be prepared for steady snow and high winds later this afternoon. Get your errands done early today and try to avoid travel this afternoon and evening.

Check your latest forecast and see how the storm is developing for today.

A classic Wisconsin Winter storm is moving in the area today. We will have wind and snow followed by bitter cold this weekend.

12/01/2024

Major Update to Snow Totals: The upcoming winter storm now looks to strengthen and take a more northerly track bringing higher snow totals to Wisconsn. Because of this, snow may begin as early as 6 AM, lasting into early Saturday AM. Wind gusts of 40mph+ will also be possible.

11/01/2024

With the latest data coming in, we're bumping up our totals for areas north of Wausau just a little bit. We're still expecting the heaviest snow to fall south of Highway 10. Also - we know you might see other sources that have higher forecast totals for our area. We see them too. Many of those sources are showing the highest possible outcome, not the most likely outcome. It's not impossible that we could see amounts higher (or lower) than this, but right now we don't expect it. This is what we expect based on the information we have - and of course we will make adjustments as we get more information.

11/01/2024

The snowstorm moving through Friday and Friday night will produce heavier snow in the southern part of the area. This update is a little higher on the snow totals than the previous update. It will be quite windy as well.

More snow is on the way. It should be enough to make many outdoor winter sports possible. In addition, it will be turning much colder. Be prepared to put on

11/01/2024

Scattered snow showers have arrived in the News 9 area tonight and we are still on track for an inch or so. Thankfully snow should end in the early morning, so you will only need to shovel once. More snow remains on the way for Friday as well.

ASK BRAD: One of the most common questions meteorologists get is "How can you be wrong so often and still get a paycheck?". In this week's Ask Brad, he gives some insight into what goes into forecasting winter weather, including what went right and what went wrong with our snow forecast on Tuesday. And remember, if you have a question for Brad, let us know - he's always looking to answer weather questions, you might just see yours answered on the air!

There's probably one question that any meteorologist gets more often than any other - how can you be wrong so often and still get a paycheck? Since we've gotten so
