Weather update per National Weather Service on ice potential

Freezing rain is progressing faster than initially expected Saturday morning. Here’s the latest information:

Bottom Line Up Front

An initial band of freezing rain is progressing eastward faster than initially expected this morning. Much of south central Wisconsin, especially along and west of I-39/90, has a very high likelihood of seeing a glaze of ice through the mid day hours. Road and air temperatures are below freezing in this area, and are expected to remain below freezing through mid day.

East of this area, air temperatures are slightly warmer, but road temperatures remain at or below freezing. There continues to be a risk for a glaze of ice on roads late this morning and this afternoon. Counties along Lake Michigan should mostly remain warm enough to limit ice impacts, though some small portions of far western Sheboygan, Racine, and Kenosha Counties could still see minor impacts.
