Rain changing to sleet and snow

This will be similar to what happened Friday, Dec. 9. 

This heavy band of snow and sleet (and possibly some thunder) is expected from 10 p.m. Wednesday until 5 a.m. Thursday with several inches of snow likely inland and a slushy mess near the lake. The heaviest snow is expected west and northwest of Milwaukee. 

10pm Wednesday - 5am Thursday

This will be a heavy, wet, slushy snow. 

The snow will be done by the morning commute on Thursday, but road crews will certainly be busy early Thursday morning. 

Stay tuned for updates.
