Milwaukee, WI – Snow and rain are gradually tapering off across Wisconsin, but road conditions may worsen overnight. Freezing temperatures could lead to icy roads as lingering moisture refreezes.
According to the National Weather Service, precipitation will move out from west to east by the evening. A mix of drizzle and light snow is expected before skies clear. As temperatures drop into the mid-to-lower 20s overnight, untreated roads and sidewalks may become slick.
Officials warn drivers to use caution, especially on bridges and overpasses. Wet slush left on roads could harden into ice, increasing the risk of accidents. Visibility has improved since the afternoon, but black ice remains a concern.
Temperatures are set to rebound into the 40s by Saturday, bringing drier conditions. Until then, Wisconsin residents should prepare for icy spots and allow extra travel time.
Authorities recommend slowing down, leaving extra space between vehicles, and using caution on lesser-traveled roads. Pedestrians should also watch for icy sidewalks.
Stay updated with the latest weather alerts and drive carefully to avoid refreeze-related hazards.
