Light snow and freezing drizzle likely Wednesday evening

 

After a dry but cloudy start to the day Wednesday we will see precipitation chances increase for the afternoon and evening. The precipitation likely starts out as light snow with a dusting or a few tenths of an inch possible.

After the Wednesday evening commute some wintry mix with freezing drizzle and sleet will be possible through early Thursday morning. 

Northern counties like Fond du Lac and Sheboygan likely stay all snow throughout this event and snow totals might be a bit higher in those locations around 1". The rest of southeast Wisconsin will likely see under an inch of snowfall. 

Any freezing drizzle that develops could drop a glaze of ice on roads but ice totals look to be well under a tenth of an inch. With temperatures in the upper 20s salt will be very effective at treating the ice so treated roadways should be in ok shape but sidewalks and driveways could be a bit slippery early Thursday morning. 

With overall light precipitation, no major impacts are expected with this round of wintry precipitation so no winter weather advisory has been issued at this time. Some freezing drizzle and sleet could have moderate impacts on roads. The snow should be light enough where it won't be much of an issue. Cold air is not an issue with this storm system but the wind could be a bit breezy at times.
