Areawide Patchy Freezing Drizzle Tonight

Warming Through the Week

An area of drizzle/freezing drizzle is expected to move in from the west late this evening and overspread the local area through the overnight hours. Near freezing surface temperatures and lingering dry air could affect how widespread impacts are but where freezing drizzle can develop, slick spots and light ice accretions will likely form, creating slippery roads and potentially hazardous travel. The highest chances of seeing any accumulations will be across NE Iowa and portions of SW Wisconsin where a few hundredths of ice will be possible.

Above normal temperatures return to the forecast with highs each day continuing to warm up slightly. Some light drizzle/freezing drizzle will be possible tonight and Tuesday night but temperatures by midweek should warm enough to keep all precipitation chances Wednesday and beyond as rain. Accumulations through Thursday will be light overall with overall rain chances increasing by Friday where more significant accumulations look to be possible.
