Motorists traveling for work or vacation will need to allow extra time Monday morning as freezing drizzle could create slippery conditions in the Chicago area.
All of central and southern Wisconsin will be under a winter weather advisory Monday morning and into the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. Freezing drizzle could leave a layer of glazed ice on roads, sidewalks and power lines, causing potential travel problems or power outages in the area.
Motorists are urged to use caution and allow additional travel time until the advisory expires at 3 p.m.
All of northern Illinois and parts of northwest Indiana could also be at risk of freezing drizzle developing, with temperatures hovering around the freezing mark, according to forecasts.
While substantial ice accumulation is not expected, slick patches could still develop in connection with any drizzle that occurs, causing problems for motorists on area roadways.
Temperatures are expected to rise above freezing late in the morning in areas closer to Chicago, which will likely help the remaining ice melt.
The rest of the week should see warmer temperatures, with rain returning to the forecast late Thursday and into Friday. High temperatures will reach 40 degrees on Tuesday and could even climb into the 50s on Friday and into the weekend.
