After another stretch of mild days we have a "rare" Winter storm to track later this week.

Ice Potential

Forecast confidence is growing for accumulating ice around the Great Lakes. Most of this is expected to fall Wednesday afternoon thru evening before slowly letting up after midnight. The overall impact of this storm is in question because dry air could stop it prematurely. Even if this occurs, a window of 9 hours of steady snow, ice and sleet are expected before the dry air shuts it off.
