Medford, WI – A winter weather advisory remains in effect for Clark and Taylor counties until 10 AM CDT this morning as light snow transitions into a wintry mix, including freezing rain, causing hazardous travel conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, the affected areas, including Medford and Neillsville, will see 1 to 2 inches of snow accumulation overnight, followed by a light glaze of ice. Winds will also increase, with gusts reaching 30 to 40 mph. The wintry mix is expected to create slippery roads, making travel especially treacherous during the morning commute.
The NWS advises residents to slow down and exercise caution while traveling. Road conditions may be dangerous, particularly in areas where snow is still accumulating, and the freezing rain may worsen conditions as temperatures dip.
Travelers can check road conditions by visiting 511wi.gov for real-time updates. Drivers should allow extra time to reach their destinations safely as they navigate icy and snow-covered roads.
As of now, the advisory is set to expire at 10 AM, but drivers should stay alert for any potential updates on weather conditions.
