La Crosse, WI – Patchy dense fog will impact morning commutes across much of western Wisconsin today. The fog, expected to persist until around 8 a.m., could reduce visibility to near zero in some areas, making for hazardous driving conditions. Travelers should give themselves extra time this morning and proceed with caution.
According to the National Weather Service, the fog is most concentrated in low-lying areas and river valleys, with visibility potentially dropping to half a mile or less in spots. Drivers are advised to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and maintain extra distance from the vehicle ahead. Listening for oncoming traffic is also recommended when turning in these low-visibility conditions.
Fog should begin to lift after 8 a.m., but until then, drivers in La Crosse and surrounding areas should remain vigilant. This type of weather is common after periods of humid conditions, and it’s especially important to adjust driving habits to ensure safety.
Stay tuned for further updates from the National Weather Service as conditions evolve this morning.
