Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

MILWAUKEE - Southern Wisconsin is dealing with a "nickels-and-dimes" winter setup: light snow, slight chance of patchy freezing drizzle, and just enough warming and cooling to keep roads annoying.
No blockbuster storms, but multiple commute-impacting windows, plus a windy day Friday.
Then we flip to quieter weather, followed by a legit February warm-up that could flirt with 40° early next week.
Pattern turns more uncertain midweek next week with low-end precip chances returning by Tuesday or Wednesday.

Today:    Light snow. Less than 1" in most areas.
High:     32°
Wind:     SW 10-20

Tonight:  Cloudy. Light snow and possible wintry mix after midnight.
Low:      26°
