WQOW.com Closings and Cancellations Policy

Thank you for choosing WQOW.com for weather-related announcements. WQOWs policy is to publish announcements from schools, churches, major employers and government agencies online and on television. These announcements typically affect the most people and are most urgent. We limit our televised cancellation list to these high-priority announcements so our viewers can see them in a timely manner.

Cancellations for other groups and organizations tend to affect fewer people.  These announcements are displayed only on WQOW.com, where time and space limitations are not a factor.

Businesses, churches and government agencies that wish to make weather-related announcements can email their announcement to News  or call our newsroom at (715) 831-1824.

Weather Forecast

Today's Forecast

Today's Forecast Image
  • 60°
  • 45°

The Memorial Day holiday weekend certainly won't be the brightest or warmest that we have ever seen, but it won't be the wettest either.  In fact, residual dry air looks like it will win out for the most part as high pressure remains entrenched over the Great Lakes.  Meanwhile, a warm front will strengthen over the Plains through Iowa this weekend, and that will be the catalyst for additional shower and thunderstorm activity to our southwest.  By next week the aforementioned warm front lifts north across the Chippewa Valley, increasing the chances for more rainfall here in western Wisconsin. 

Be sure to check the weather video for full forecast details!
