Overview
- Forecasters highlight Tuesday into Wednesday as the busiest stretch, with a passing cold front bringing rounds of showers after early-week warmth and a late-week cooldown.
- Southeast Wisconsin faces a marginal severe risk focused on hail, with the greatest chance near the Illinois border and only spotty storms expected.
- Northern New England could see freezing rain and sleet late Tuesday into early Wednesday, raising the risk of patchy black ice on higher-elevation roads.
- Along Montana’s Rocky Mountain Front, gusts near 50 mph may create blowing snow and difficult travel as colder air follows the front.
