La Crosse, WI – Drivers across western and central Wisconsin could face slippery travel conditions today as light snow spreads into the region and temperatures fall, increasing the risk of slick roads—especially along major corridors like I-94.
According to the National Weather Service in La Crosse, light snow or a rain-snow mix is moving in from the northwest this morning, with snow becoming more widespread through late morning and early afternoon. Areas that start out warmer may initially see rain mixed with snow before changing over to all snow as colder air moves in.
Forecasters say roads near I-94 in western Wisconsin could begin turning slippery early today, with impacts expanding southward by the afternoon. The snow is expected to remain generally light, but even minor accumulations combined with falling temperatures could create hazardous travel conditions.
The weather system is expected to taper off later today as colder air settles in. As precipitation ends, remaining moisture on roadways may freeze, increasing the risk for slick spots during the evening commute. The NWS advises motorists to slow down, allow extra travel time, and remain alert for changing conditions.
Communities potentially impacted include La Crosse, Eau Claire, Winona, Prairie du Chien, and surrounding areas across western Wisconsin and southeastern Minnesota. Officials stress that even light snow can cause travel issues when temperatures drop quickly.
Drivers are encouraged to check road conditions before heading out and monitor local forecasts for updates throughout the day.
