…A Wintry Mix Moving In Today…
…Travel Impacts Linger Into Tonight…

.Freezing rain will begin spreading into southern Wisconsin this
morning, likely making travel hazardous across the area. As
temperatures warm, the southeast will change over to all rain by
midday. The area of freezing rain will quickly lift north and
change to snow as it reaches areas north of Madison to Fond du
Lac.

The area from Sheboygan southwest through Portage and Lone Rock
could see a wintry mix for much of the day. Snow accumulations of
3 to 5 inches are possible from Sauk county, east northeast to
Fond du Lac. A period of freezing drizzle is possible as the
precipitation is winding down tonight.

This is a very complicated weather forecast with temperatures
hovering very close to threshold levels, and also changing
throughout the day. Those planning to travel today into tonight
should stay up to date on what will be a very dynamic forecast.
