Waukesha Public Schools Closed Thursday, Jan. 31

WAUKESHA, WI -- It's enough to make you want to cry frozen tears into frozen mugs of what was once hot chocolate.

Due to the continued record-breaking cold, the Waukesha School District will be closed on Thursday, Jan.31. Evening Activities may be allowed, and members of the public are encouraged to please check with your school's coach or athletic director.

According to the National Weather Service, Thursday morning temperatures will be in the -20s and -30s with wind chills in the -40s.

Wind chills will gradually improve Thursday afternoon into Friday as we warm up into the weekend. However, there is a chance for snow up to two inches, primarily along and south of a line from Lone Rock to Madison to Kenosha, Thursday afternoon and evening that may impact the evening commute.

District officials said schools stand a better chance to be open on Friday, Feb. 1 as the cold temperatures are expected to break Thursday afternoon.
