La Crosse, WI – A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for Clark and Taylor counties from Tuesday afternoon through late Tuesday night, with 4 to 6 inches of snow possible, according to the National Weather Service in La Crosse.
Forecasters say snow will move into southeast Minnesota and west-central Wisconsin by Tuesday afternoon, intensifying into the evening. Heavy snowfall rates near one inch per hour are possible, particularly along and north of Interstate 94, potentially making travel treacherous during the evening commute.
According to the National Weather Service, hazardous road conditions are likely as snow accumulates quickly on untreated surfaces. Drivers are advised to slow down, allow extra travel time, and monitor updated forecasts as the system develops.
The watch is expected to last through early Wednesday morning, with totals and timing subject to change as meteorologists refine the forecast.
Residents should stay tuned to local media or visit weather.gov/lacrosse for the latest weather alerts and travel advisories.
