A winter weather advisory is in effect Thursday morning until 9 a.m. for parts of north central and northeast Wisconsin because of light rain and freezing snow that's making some roads slick.
In the Milwaukee area, rain is not in the forecast until Thursday evening, according to the National Weather Service. Forecasters are pegging the chance for rain at 40% due to a weak cool front which could push a few scattered light showers into the area. Highs on Thursday are expected to reach 48 with partly cloudy skies.
A storm is expected to move into the western Great Lakes region Sunday into Sunday night bringing a wintry mix of snow and rain. In southeastern Wisconsin the bulk of the precipitation may fall as rain because of milder air that might keep temperatures above freezing, according to WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) meteorologist Michael Fish.
That could affect Milwaukee's attempt at breaking the record for longest period between measurable snows.
Milwaukee's last measurable snow was 0.9 inch on March 4. If no measurable snow, which must be at least 0.1 inch, falls by midnight Sunday in Milwaukee, it will break the snowless streak record of 279 days set in 1999.
The forecast for Friday and Saturday in southeastern Wisconsin calls for highs in the low 40s and low temperatures in the low 30s with partly sunny skies.
