Freezing rain, to just rain across southwest WI, persists through the evening hours. Slippery to hazardous travel is occurring. Law enforcement continues to report accidents and occasional slide offs. Areas of freezing drizzle may linger into the overnight.

Fog is likely to become widespread and dense across some locations (visibilities 1/4 mile or less) overnight, hampering travel through the mid morning hours of Sunday.

Consider delaying travel if possible. If you must travel, be sure to check radar and road conditions before venturing out, and SLOW DOWN. Use extra caution walking on slippery pavement.
