La Crosse, WI – Travel across western Wisconsin could be impacted Sunday as light snow moves through the region, creating slick roads and reduced visibility at times.
According to the National Weather Service in La Crosse, snow began early Sunday morning and is expected to continue on and off through the evening hours. Forecasters say the most consistent snowfall will occur between 3 a.m. and 9 p.m., with conditions fluctuating throughout the day.
Snowfall totals are expected to remain modest, with most areas receiving between 1 and 2 inches. However, officials warn that even lighter accumulation can lead to hazardous travel, especially on untreated roads, bridges, and overpasses.
The highest impacts are expected across western and central Wisconsin, including the La Crosse area, portions of Trempealeau, Monroe, Jackson, and Vernon counties, and nearby rural highways. Areas farther east, including Madison and Milwaukee, are expected to see little to no accumulation.
Motorists are urged to use caution if traveling Sunday, particularly during the morning and evening hours when temperatures and snowfall rates may contribute to icy conditions. The National Weather Service advises slowing down, increasing following distance, and allowing extra time to reach destinations.
While no major winter storm is expected, the extended duration of snowfall could keep road conditions slick for much of the day. Crews may need additional time to treat roads as snow showers continue intermittently.
Residents are encouraged to monitor local forecasts and road conditions before heading out and to be prepared for changing weather conditions throughout Sunday.
