GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Wisconsinites are waking up to mixed precipitation as they start the new work week.
Sleet and freezing rain fell in spots overnight in the southern half of the state. Parts of central Wisconsin had light snow.
Three inches of the white stuff fell near Superior in the far north as of 5:30 a.m. There were slight ice buildups in some places, but not bad enough to cause significant power outages in the state.
The National Weather Service said a low pressure system brought warmer air into Wisconsin during the night, along with the mix of precipitation. It's supposed to continue into the evening, when it will diminish as the low heads east out of the Great Lakes region.
After that, dry weather is in the forecast all week, with a chance of rain next weekend.
Today's highs are projected to be in the 30's, with lows in the teens and 20's. Much of Wisconsin could be in the 40's by Friday.
