Wisconsin. Precipitation ends from south to north late this

in northeast Minnesota. Ice amounts from a light glaze to around
0.05 inches are possible in northwest Wisconsin, highest in
Price, Iron and Ashland counties. Strong wind gusts up to 30-40

reduced visibility. Winter Weather Advisories and Winter Storm
