Wisconsin greets the morning under low clouds as light snow drifts across the Mississippi River Valley. Streetlights glow through mist, flakes swirl gently, and visibility drops just enough to slow traffic during the early hours.
According to the National Weather Service in La Crosse, light snow remains possible through the day across western Wisconsin, northeast Iowa, and southeast Minnesota. Snow showers may briefly reduce visibility, though total accumulations are expected to stay at or below one inch.
In La Crosse, snow and mist linger through the morning before becoming more scattered this afternoon. Roads along I-90, Highway 14, and city streets may turn slick in spots, especially on bridges and shaded stretches. While widespread travel disruptions are not expected, conditions can change quickly during heavier snow showers.
Temperatures hold near 30 degrees today, keeping snow light and powdery. Winds stay modest, but even calm conditions allow snow to settle on untreated pavement. Drivers should remain cautious during passing snow bands and allow extra stopping distance.
Tonight turns colder as clouds thin. Lows drop into the teens, setting the stage for refreezing where snow melts during the day. Watch for black ice early Sunday, especially on secondary roads and sidewalks.
Sunday brings partial sunshine and quieter weather. Highs reach the upper 20s, offering a brief break before a warmer pattern arrives next week. Monday climbs near 40 under sunny skies, followed by a milder Tuesday with rain chances returning by midday.
As temperatures swing above and below freezing, winter hazards shift from snow to ice. Stay alert during early mornings and evenings when refreeze risk increases.
If you’re heading out today, slow down during snow showers and stay aware of changing visibility. Winter weather remains light but persistent across the region.
