******WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR ALL OF SE WISCONSIN FROM 6PM THIS EVENING TO 6AM WEDNESDAY MORNING***********

All is quiet this morning with just some clouds overhead. Tonight remains mostly cloudy with high temperatures in the 20s. The next approaching storm system will bring an icy mix to the area this evening. Freezing rain is the primary threat, which will make roads and sidewalks very slippery. Most of southeast Wisconsin will pick up around 0.10" of freezing rain, with as much as 0.20" in a few spots. Some sleet and snow may mix in as well, especially north of Milwaukee.

The temperature rises above freezing by tomorrow morning, which should help with the slick roads. We see a break from precipitation much of Wednesday before the next approaching area of low pressure arrives Thursday. This one looks to bring us mainly rain, but some ice is also possible.

TONIGHT: Icy Mix. 0.10 to 0.20 Freezing Rain Low: 26 ...rising early AM Wind: E 10 mph
