La Crosse, WI – Roads across western Wisconsin could turn slick overnight as a mix of rain and snow develops, setting up a messy start to the Wednesday morning commute.
According to the National Weather Service in La Crosse, light to moderate rain and a wintry mix will spread across the region late tonight and continue into Wednesday morning. While accumulations are expected to remain light, brief periods of mixed precipitation could create slippery conditions on untreated roads, especially before 9 a.m.
Cities including La Crosse, Eau Claire, and Winona will likely see a transition to mainly rain by midday Wednesday as temperatures climb into the 60s. Key routes such as I-90 and Highway 53 may see reduced traction early before improving conditions later in the morning.
Another round of rain develops Wednesday afternoon and evening, bringing additional wet travel concerns. Looking ahead, a more significant system arrives this weekend, with widespread rainfall and a 20% to 50% chance of totals exceeding 2 inches across parts of the region.
Residents should remain cautious during the early commute Wednesday and monitor updates as the wetter pattern intensifies. Additional advisories are possible as heavy rain potential increases into the weekend.
