Winter Weather and Road Safety Advisory
The National Weather Service has issued a weather story for Thursday morning, January 29, 2026. Confidence has increased regarding a round of quick snow showers moving across southeast Wisconsin. Residents should be prepared for brief but significant drops in visibility—potentially falling to one mile or less—during the morning commute. The primary hazard remains the development of slick spots on bridges, overpasses, and side streets. Drivers are urged to allow extra travel time and maintain a safe following distance.
Civil Rights: "Know Your Rights" Resource Hub
The Milwaukee Common Council recently announced the launch of a new "Know Your Rights and Resources" webpage. This central hub is designed to support residents, particularly non-citizens, who are navigating anxiety regarding federal immigration enforcement. The site provides access to preparedness toolkits, fact sheets, and legal support options. City officials emphasize that this initiative is part of a broader commitment to ensuring all residents feel supported and informed.
