Southeast Wisconsin weather: Messy wintry mix Tuesday

and last updated

**A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY WILL BE IN EFFECT FROM 2 AM TO 2 PM TUESDAY FOR RACINE, KENOSHA, WALWORTH, MILWAUKEE, WAUKESHA, AND JEFFERSON COUNTIES. THE ADVISORY WILL BE IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM TO 2 PM TUESDAY FOR DODGE, WASHINGTON, AND OZAUKEE COUNTIES. A MIX OF WINTRY WEATHER, INCLUDING SLEET, FREEZING RAIN, AND WET SNOW WILL CREATE MESSY CONDITIONS AND SLICK TRAVEL, ESPECIALLY FOR THE TUESDAY MORNING COMMUTE.**

A surge of moisture and warm air will arrive into Tuesday. This will bring a combination of wet snow, sleet and freezing rain, starting after midnight and continuing through late Tuesday afternoon. Therefore, the Tuesday morning commute will likely be slow going, featuring slick roadways. A light glaze of ice is expected, mainly across the southern half of the area. Additionally, a trace to 2" of sleet and snow is expected.

Temperatures will be warm enough that we are looking at light rain Wednesday into Thursday. Highs will be around 40-degrees with light winds. Conditions dry out Friday into the weekend and highs will remain above average.

Expect a lot of melting and compacting snow this week as temperatures stay above freezing. Areal flooding and ice jams are possible. We also tend to see fog when warm and moist air moves over a deep snowpack. These are all things we will be watching closely through the week.
