Regional Weather View.
Regional attention is turned to a very cold arctic airmass which is racing towards the entire region for Thursday and Friday. Very cold low temperatures of at least -20.F is likely in the light pink shaded areas above in Western Wisconsin and Eastern Minnesota. In Northeast Minnesota excessive cold low temps of at least below -35.F is possible in the dark pink shaded areas. Very cold wind chills are also like in both areas. but especially south where winds will be stronger. Off and on light snows are possible the next few days.
Local View
Note: Sundays forecast has been added for convince
Local attention is also focused on the very cold air expected. Thursday will be the start if the cold, skies will be mostly cloudy early with flurries possible then in the afternoon skies will clear. Highs will only be in the single digits Winds will also be an issue because winds around 20-25MPH will result in very cold wind chills. The clearing skies Thursday afternoon will make for a very cold night/Friday morning as temperatures plunge well below zero. Friday will remain cold and will be the coldest day. Highs will be just above zero. Skies will be clear early, then more clouds will move in with some flurries possible. Friday Night, will have partly cloudy conditions and temperatures will fall below zero again. Saturday will be a bit bit warmer. with clouds and flurries and highs in the upper single digits to low teens. Saturday Night will be partly cloudy with lows falling below zero once again. Sunday will finally bring some better improvement we will have sunny skies with highs in the low teens and lows just above or below zero. Snowfall accumulation during the entire 1st part of the weekend will be little maybe up to an inch the entire weekend, the snowfall type will be what I like to call arctic flurries.
Thursdays/Fridays Cold!
Very cold temperatures are expected for Thursday and Friday, the worst conditions will take place Thursday into Friday morning. Air temperatures Thursday will only be in the single digits and Thursday night temps will take a plunge into their coldest levels of the season so far. Low temps Friday morning will be as cold as -20.F, but I would not be surprise to see cold spots as cold as -25 or colder in low spots and the Minog area. To make matters worse right during this time winds are expected to be breezy around 20MPH will result in very low wind chills around -30 to -35.F below zero which can be dangerous if people to not take the right precautions.
Thursday, Cold! Flurries possible early then clearing, breezy with cold wind chills. Highs in the single digits Clearing skies in the afternoon. Thursday Night, Very Cold! Clear Skies with lows in the 20s below zero to as cold as -25.F below zero. Breezy with very cold wind chills around -30 to -35.F

Looking Ahead
The looking ahead forecast are view difficult to read since they have been going up and down with Temperatures, but this is what I see today. Monday through Wednesday looks mostly dry at this point with temps bit warmer and what looks to be closer to average for this time of year. Then Saturday January 29th, a clipper system brings in some snow chances with a cool down. The cool down last a couple days and looks pretty strong. Warmer temperatures with another snowfall chance move in for Wednesday February 2nd. Followed by another fair sized cool down. Behind that it drys out and becomes warmer once again. So it appears to continue to be active with up and down temps.
