La Crosse, WI – A winter storm is set to bring accumulating snowfall to Wisconsin, with the National Weather Service (NWS) La Crosse reporting a shift in the storm’s narrow snow band. This change could increase snowfall totals for parts of the region, leading to travel hazards by Wednesday afternoon.
According to the NWS, the storm’s southern shift means some areas may see significantly higher snowfall amounts than previously expected. However, the narrow nature of the band makes it difficult to pinpoint exact totals, as small shifts could lead to major differences in accumulation across short distances.
Precipitation is forecasted to begin as rain early Wednesday morning before transitioning to snow by late morning or around noon. If the changeover occurs earlier or later than anticipated, it could further impact snowfall totals. The heaviest snowfall is expected in the afternoon, creating hazardous travel conditions for the evening commute.
Drivers are advised to prepare for slippery roads and reduced visibility, especially in areas affected by the heavier snow band. The NWS will continue monitoring trends and provide updated forecasts as the storm develops.
For the latest updates, residents should stay tuned to local weather alerts and advisories.
