Wintry Mix Midweek

Severe Storms Possible Thursday Afternoon

Periodic Precipitation from Tonight into Saturday

A storm system impacts the region Wednesday afternoon into Thursday night. Precipitation type remains the main area of uncertainty with temperatures likely to be right around freezing. There is a widespread 20 to 80% chance for at least a tenth of an inch of ice accretion to occur across southeast Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Snow totals are generally in the 1 to 3" range for northern Taylor County.

In addition to our wintry mix Wednesday night, the upcoming storm system brings a risk for severe thunderstorms to southwest Wisconsin and parts of northeast Iowa. Hail is the primary risk, but damaging winds, localized flooding, and a tornado cannot be ruled out.

After a dry day today, there will be periodic precipitation from tonight into Saturday. There will be freezing rain and sleet along and north of Interstate 90 tonight. This icing may impact the Thursday morning commute in these areas.
