Wintry weather returns tonight with a wintry mix in Milwaukee, but snow showers are likely west and north of Milwaukee.  Milwaukee will see just a dusting of snow by Wednesday morning, but areas NW of Milwaukee will see up to 2” of snow. There is a winter weather advisory from 9pm this evening until 6pm Wednesday for counties west and north of Milwaukee.

The rain/snow mix on Wednesday morning will change over to a cold rain with highs near 40 in Milwaukee, but areas to the NW will be cold enough for an additional 1-2” of snow.  The best chance for snow in Milwaukee is Wednesday night with less than 1”.  A cold front arrives Thursday with a brisk NW wind gusting to 25 mph, highs in the low to mid 30s and flurries.  We are back to normal with highs near 30 on Friday, and in the 20s over the weekend with lots of clouds.
