...FALLING TEMPERATURES LIKELY TO LEAD TO ICY ROADWAYS OVERNIGHT...
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA WERE ABOVE FREEZING EARLY THIS
EVENING. BUT COLDER AIR WILL SURGE BACK INTO THE AREA THIS EVENING
AND OVERNIGHT. THIS IS LIKELY TO CAUSE WATER AND SLUSH ON
UNTREATED ROADWAYS TO TURN TO GLARE ICE. IN ADDITION...PRECIPITATION
LINGERING ACROSS THE AREA WILL TURN BACK TO SNOW. SNOW FALLING
ONTO ICY ROADWAYS COULD LEAD TO VERY HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS.
IF YOU ARE TRAVELING DURING THE LATE EVENING OR OVERNIGHT
HOURS...BE PREPARED TO ENCOUNTER DETERIORATING TRAVEL CONDITIONS.
AT 530 PM...THE CENTER OF THE LARGE STORM SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN
AFFECTING THE AREA FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS WAS LOCATED OVER
NORTHWEST IOWA. IT IS A VERY LARGE AND SLOW MOVING SYSTEM...SO IT
WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE AREA FOR THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.
THE PRECIPITATION FALLING IN FAR NORTH-CENTRAL WISCONSIN HAD
CHANGED BACK TO MAINLY SNOW. BUT RAIN AND DRIZZLE WERE OCCURRING
ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA. COLDER AIR WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA
FROM THE SOUTH...AND CAUSE THE RAIN TO CHANGE TO SNOW ACROSS THE
ENTIRE AREA DURING THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. MOST LOCATIONS
IN CENTRAL AND EAST-CENTRAL WISCONSIN SHOULD RECEIVE AN INCH OR SO
OF SNOW OVERNIGHT. ONE TO THREE INCHES OF SNOW IS EXPECTED ACROSS
THE NORTH.
THE COLDER WEATHER ALONG WITH PERIODS OF SNOW WILL CONTINUE INTO
SATURDAY.
