National Weather Service La Crosse….. WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 AM CST THIS MORNING.
Mitchell-Howard-Winneshiek-Allamakee-Floyd-Chickasaw-Fayette-Clayton Counties in northeast Iowa.
Mixed precipitation is expected to persist until late morning with total snow accumulations of up to one inch and ice accumulations of up around one tenth of an inch possible. These higher ice accumulations will fall in a very narrow band along and just north of the Highway 18 corridor.
The NWS says the greatest impacts will likely fall in a narrow west to east corridor not more than 20 to 30 miles wide while locations outside of this corridor may see little to no impacts. In the affected areas, plan on slippery road conditions that could impact the morning commute.
