The chance that roads might be less-than-ideal on New Years Eve is now a consideration worth mentioning according to forecasters at the National Weather Service in Milwaukee.
There is now a chance for some freezing drizzle as light precipitation begins this evening…according to forecasters sometime between 9 p.m. and midnight. While that chance is low, any freezing drizzle could quickly turn previously dry roads into slippery surfaces as it falls, mixed with light snow for the first several hours of what appears to be a mostly-mild winter event.
Light snow should take over entirely between midnight and 2 a.m. Sunday, and could put down perhaps 1-1/2 inches before ending between 3 and 6 p.m., just in time for revelers to head out to New Year festivities.
The outlook for New Year’s Day – and such festivities as a plunge with the Polar Bears into Lake Michigan, is for sunshine and a 10 mph west wind, making the 32 degree air feel more like 22 degrees.
The most recent, Saturday afternoon water temperature at Deland Park was 39 degrees, which along with Monday’s predicted air conditions, just might make a true Sheboygan Polar Bear shout out, as in days past, “It’s not cold enough!”.
