SYSTEM. HIGHS TODAY SHOULD REBOUND INTO THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 30S
WITH SOME SUNSHINE, WITH SOME 40 DEGREE READINGS NOT OUT OF THE

SYSTEM WILL START OUT AS A WINTRY MIX, WITH MAINLY RAIN ACROSS
EAST-CENTRAL, SNOW ACROSS NORTHEAST, AND A MIX OF
SNOW/RAIN/FREEZING RAIN ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTH-CENTRAL
WISCONSIN. THE FREEZING RAIN COULD BRING A LIGHT GLAZE OF ICE
ACROSS THE REGION LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING, WHICH
COULD AFFECT THE MORNING COMMUTE ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTH-CENTRAL
WISCONSIN. HOWEVER, THE WINDOW FOR FREEZING RAIN WILL NOT BE
PARTICULARLY LONG AS SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL WARM THROUGHOUT THE

LIGHT, MAYBE A DUSTING ACROSS MOST PLACES, WITH 1 TO 3 INCHES
