Rain mixed with sleet/snow will move in from the southwest overnight.

Areas NW of Milwaukee could see less than an inch of slushy accumulation, but major impacts are NOT expected as temperatures should be above freezing. Early morning temperatures in Sheboygan county will be below freezing, however, so some slick spots are possible in those areas.
