Part of SE Wisconsin under risk for freezing rain Wednesday evening into Thursday
Winter Weather Advisory in impact from 1 to 9 a.m. in northern counties
>> ALL RIGHT. THANKS, DIANA. WE’LL SEE YOU THEN. WEATHERWATCH 12 NOW. SPRING WEATHER. WINTER WEATHER TONIGHT. SPRING WEATHER TOMORROW. >> YEAH. MARK. FROM ICE TO A THREAT OF SEVERE STORMS. >> ALL WITHIN ABOUT 12 HOURS. SO WE ARE WE’RE WRAPPING THINGS UP HERE. LET’S GET RIGHT TO IT. WE’VE GOT A LOT TO TALK ABOUT. LET’S START WITH TONIGHT. THAT’S OUR ICE THREAT. AND IT’S IN OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES. I DON’T THINK WE’LL SEE ANY ICE IN THE METRO AREA. SO IF YOU’RE IN WAUKESHA, IF YOU’RE IN BROOKFIELD, IF YOU’RE IN MILWAUKEE, IF YOU’RE IN THE SUBURBS CLOSE TO MILWAUKEE, YOU SHOULD BE ALL RIGHT. JUST A COLD RAIN. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE IN ANY OF OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES, THERE’S A CHANCE OF UP TO A QUARTER INCH OF ICE. I DON’T THINK IT’S GOING TO BE A QUARTER INCH OF ICE ON ALL THE ROADS, BUT I DO THINK WE’RE GOING TO GET SOME SLICK ROADS OUT THERE. SECONDARY ROADS, ANYTHING THAT HASN’T BEEN TREATED, AND WATCH THOSE BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES, THEY WILL FREEZE UP FIRST. THIS ISN’T GOING TO ARRIVE UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT. SO WE’RE OKAY AT THE MOMENT. TEMPERATURES 32 ELKHART LAKE. EVERYBODY ELSE JUST ABOVE FREEZING. I’D LOVE FOR US TO STAY JUST ABOVE FREEZING FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT SO WE COULD TAKE THIS ICE THREAT AWAY. THEN TOMORROW WE COMPLETELY CHANGE THINGS AS WE GO TO A SEVERE THREAT. THE TIMING FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WON’T BE UNTIL LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. IN THE EVENING, ALL TYPES OF SEVERE WEATHER, INCLUDING TORNADOES AS WELL AS LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. IF WE GET MORE SUNSHINE, IF WE GET CLOUDS HANGING OUT ALL DAY AND COOL TEMPERATURES AND WE DON’T GET THE WARM AIR TO GET HERE, WE HAVE MUCH LESS CHANCE OF SEVERE WEATHER. I STILL THINK WE’LL SEE SOME SEVERE WEATHER, BUT THE CHANCE OF TORNADOES WILL BE MUCH HIGHER IF WE GET SUNSHINE BY MID AFTERNOON AND TEMPERATURES JUMP UP INTO THE 60S. ALL RIGHT, LET’S TALK TIMING. CLOUDY WITH A DRY EVENING THROUGH MIDNIGHT. IF YOU HAVE PLANS THIS EVENING, YOU’RE FINE. RAIN FOR MOST OF YOU. MIDNIGHT TO 6 A.M. FREEZING RAIN TO THE NORTH, MAYBE EVEN A LITTLE SLEET MIXING IN. BUT I THINK MOST OF IT WILL BE FREEZING RAIN, RAIN AND STORMS THROUGH ABOUT 3:00. BUT AT TIMES THERE’S GOING TO BE SOME DRY TIMES AND WE’LL SEE IF WE’RE ABLE TO GET THAT SUNSHINE IN HERE. AND IF THAT IS THE CASE, THE SEVERE THREAT RAMPS UP A LOT MORE AND THE THREAT WILL BE BETWEEN ABOUT 3 P.M. AND 10 P.M. FOR THAT, WATCH OUT FOR THE STRONG WINDS. WATCH OUT FOR LARGE HAIL. AND YES, WATCH OUT FOR THE POTENTIAL OF TORNADOES DEPENDING ON SUNSHINE IMPACTS FOR WINTER DRIVING, IT’S GOING TO BE AN ALL OUT ICE STORM IN THE CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE. STEVENS POINT, WAUSAU. YOU’RE GOING TO GET PROBABLY CLOSE TO AN INCH OF ICE THAT’S NO GOOD. AND THEN ON SOME OF THESE SAME PLACES OVERLAPPED WITH SEVERE WEATHER. THAT’S OUR THREAT FOR TOMORROW. IT IS A VERY DYNAMIC SPRINGLIKE SYSTEM. SO YOU GET WINTER ON ONE SIDE AND YOU GET SPRING LIKE SEVERE WEATHER ON THE OTHER. WE’RE QUIET AT THE MOMENT, BUT AS WE HEAD INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, HERE COMES THE RAIN. WATCH THE SHADES OF PINK IN HERE IN OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES. THAT’S THE FREEZING RAIN AND THAT WILL LAST FOR PROBABLY ABOUT 4 TO 5 HOURS UNTIL THE WARM AIR MOVES IN AND THAT RAIN CONTINUES. THEN WE COULD SEE SOME BREAKS. I’M HOPING IT STAYS RAIN ALL DAY BECAUSE THEN WE WOULDN’T GET THE BREAKS. BUT WATCH OUT LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. THAT’S WHEN WE COULD GET SOME OF THOSE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS. ICE STORM WARNINGS. CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE. A LOT OF RAIN THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT, TONIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW. HEADS UP ELKHART LAKE. YOU HAVE A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE OF SEEING ICE HEADS UP IN SLINGER. YOU HAVE A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE OF ICE. MILWAUKEE 35, BUT I DON’T THINK YOUR TEMPERATURE FALLS MUCH AS WE HEAD THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. SEVEN DAY RAINY MORNING STORMS AROUND, BUT THEN A BREAK, AND THEN THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE WEATHER LATE IN THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. FRIDAY, A QUIET DAY. SATURDAY, MORE SHOWERS AND STORMS, AND THEN EASTER SUNDAY, A QUIET DAY AND THEN ELECTION DAY ON TUESDAY. COLD. BUT WE ARE DRY. IT LOOKS LIKE NEXT WEEK IS MUCH QUIETER THAN WHAT WE’VE BEEN DOIN
