A light wintry mix is possible tonight and tomorrow. There is a small chance of freezing drizzle after 7 pm. Chances increase Thursday afternoon with freezing drizzle transitioning to snow in the evening. Less than an inch of accumulation is expected, and northern Wisconsin could see more rain than snow.
Overnight lows will be in the upper twenties to low thirties. Patchy fog is possible Thursday morning. Afternoon highs will be in the thirties.
Friday will be mostly sunny and a tad cooler, with afternoon highs in the teens along the Iron Range and north. Elsewhere, we reach the low twenties. Light snow is possible New Year’s Eve, but the next chance for impactful accumulation is not until Monday night. With temperatures staying above normal, the precipitation type for Monday night is uncertain at this time.
