First of three rounds of precipitation brings wintry mix Wednesday morning

It's a bit of a wet, and in some locations wintry, start to this Wednesday. Shortly after midnight some snow approached from the west but quickly mixed and switched with some sleet, freezing rain and rain as it moved east. That precipitation is making roads wet and even a bit slick in some areas, especially north of I-94. Most of that precipitation should wrap up by the end of the morning commute.

Here is a look at the radar image that will update with time:

As the morning wintry mix and rain showers end, the rest of the daylight hours stay pretty dry from late morning through the afternoon. But more showers are likely after sunset Wednesday evening through early Thursday morning. 

Rain totals for the first two rounds of precipitation Wednesday morning and Wednesday evening into Thursday morning could range from just a tenth of an inch in spots to about a half inch in other areas. 

Then once you add in the third round of rain Thursday evening into Friday morning rain totals will inflate even more. That last round of rain could be our most steady and at times heavy round. Rain totals over the 48 hours from Wednesday morning through Friday morning could push towards 1.50" of rain in some areas. 

While we stay dry during the daylight hours on Wednesday we will see temperatures warm up quickly. We start Wednesday in the 30s then warm through the 40s in the morning. By noon we should be around 50 then continue warming into the low 60s by the late afternoon and evening hours. 

It will take a lot of wind for us to see the warmth return. Wind gusts could surpass 30 mph on Wednesday. The wind stays gusty most of Wednesday night then will become more manageable during the day Thursday and Friday.
