Milwaukee, WI – Freezing drizzle and light snow are creating hazardous driving conditions Monday morning across southeastern Wisconsin, particularly along I-94 and other major routes. Commuters are urged to use caution, as untreated roads and elevated surfaces may become slick through the early afternoon.
The National Weather Service (NWS) in Milwaukee has issued a Winter Weather Advisory in effect until 3 p.m. Monday for areas including Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, and surrounding counties. Forecasters warn of icy patches on roadways, bridges, and sidewalks. Motorists should slow down, allow extra travel time, and avoid sudden stops to reduce the risk of accidents.
Monday’s high will reach 36°F, with freezing drizzle tapering off by late afternoon, leaving cloudy skies through the evening. As temperatures drop to 31°F overnight, untreated surfaces could refreeze, causing additional hazards for Tuesday morning commuters.
