Great Lakes Gale Force Warnings

Parts of Lake Michigan and Southeastern Wisconsin is entering its second day of high winds across much of the region, and when it's done, other parts of the region may find temperatures possibly dipping below the freezing mark.

The National Weather Service has issued:
- A wind advisory for Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Kenosha, Racine and Sheboygan Counties until 1:00 p.m. Thursday
- A frost advisory for Waukesha, Dodge, Jefferson, Walworth and Washington from 1:00 a.m. through 9:00 a.m. Friday morning.

Wind gusts in excess of 60 miles per hour were found overnight, and Milwaukee Storm Team 4Caster Scott Steele said similar winds were expected Thursday morning.

"Strong winds will persist early today but gradually diminish as we bid farewell to the wet weather," said Steele, who warns that we'll be bidding hello to colder weather.

"Eventually the weakening and departing storm system will give way to approaching high pressure. That means we'll see rain diminish though the day with decreasing clouds tonight. As the skies clear, our temperatures will plummet into the low 30's. This will allow areas of frost to develop.".
