MILWAUKEE - Wisconsin has winter headlines spread across the state, from winter weather advisories to winter storm warnings and even ice storm warnings.
Icing possible
What we know:
There is a Winter Weather Advisory for counties north of I-94 tonight through 9am Thursday for the potential of freezing rain and sleet. There is even an Ice Storm Warning across central Wisconsin where up to 0.5" of ice accretion will be possible.
Areas north of I-94, especially in Washington, Dodge, Fond du Lac, Ozaukee and Sheboygan counties, have the best chance for light icing of a glaze to a few hundredths of an inch.
This will likely favor elevated surfaces such as bridges, overpasses, decks, and cars.

Due to the warmer temperatures during the end of March, surfaces are warmer, which can be in our favor to prevent icing on some roads. Areas can be slick heading into the Thursday early morning commute where temperatures will be cooler, so take time while driving.
After the morning, winds will transition out of the southeast, bringing back warmer temperatures which will transition all precipitation over to a steady rain. Some embedded thunderstorms are possibly closer to the early afternoon.
If there is a clearing and/or break after the first round of rain, we could see stronger storms develop after 6pm.
