* WHAT...Visibility 1/4 mile or less in dense fog. * WHERE...Portions of north central and northeast Iowa, southeast Minnesota, and southwest Wisconsin. * WHEN...Until 9 AM CST this morning. * IMPACTS...Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous.

Winter Weather Advisory issued December 25 at 1:22PM CST until December 26 at 6:00AM CST by NWS La Crosse WI

...FREEZING PRECIPIATION WILL MAKE FOR SLICK TRAVEL TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING... .Freezing drizzle to freezing rain overspreads the area this evening. Icy accumulations will range from a trace north of I-94 to as much as 1/10" north of HWY 29 in Wisconsin. While confidence in travel impacts is highest north of Highway 10 (60-80 percent), the I-94 corridor could see a period of freezing drizzle tonight that could make for slippery travel. Between warming temperatures and lighter precipitation amounts, confidence in impacts along I-94 is on the lower side (20-40 percent). Temperatures warm after midnight, resulting in the risk for icing ending from southwest to northeast. * WHAT...Freezing drizzle expected with ice accumulations of a light glaze. * WHERE...Adams, Juneau, Jackson, Monroe, and Trempealeau Counties. * WHEN...From 6 PM this evening to 6 AM CST Friday. * IMPACTS...Very slippery sidewalks, roads and bridges are possible. The hazardous conditions could impact the Thursday evening commute.

Slow down and use caution while traveling. Prepare for possible power outages. Visit 511wi.gov for road conditions.

...FREEZING DRIZZLE WILL RESULT IN SLICK TRAVEL CONDITIONS TONIGHT... .No major changes to the forecast as we are around an hour away from the start of the Advisory, with the best chance for minor ice accumulations from freezing drizzle generally north of I-94. Temperature observations show near 30 temperatures within the Advisory with 32-35 degrees a bit farther to the south which should result in only drizzle and wet roadways where temperatures are warm enough. Slick roadways are likely in areas that remain below freezing with a glaze to up to a tenth of an inch of icing possible from freezing drizzle from this evening through early Friday. Conditions will improve by around 6am Friday as temperatures warm enough to begin to melt any ice, with temperatures generally above freezing throughout the day. * WHAT...Freezing drizzle expected. Total ice accumulations up to one tenth of an inch. * WHERE...In Minnesota, Anoka, Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec, and Washington Counties. In Wisconsin, Barron, Polk, Rusk, Chippewa, Dunn, Eau Claire, and St. Croix Counties. * WHEN...From 6 PM this evening to 9 AM CST Friday. * IMPACTS...Difficult travel conditions are possible. The hazardous conditions will impact the Thursday evening and Friday morning commutes.

...FREEZING DRIZZLE WILL RESULT IN SLICK TRAVEL CONDITIONS THROUGH LATE THIS MORNING... .Continued freezing drizzle, along with some deposition due to freezing fog formation, will make for minor ice accumulations generally near and east Interstate 35 north and east of the Twin Cities metro. Temperature observations are in the low 30s within the Advisory, with 33-35 degrees a bit farther to the south, which should result in only drizzle and wet roadways where temperatures are above the freezing mark. Slick roadways are likely in areas that remain below freezing with a glaze to up to a tenth of an inch of icing possible from freezing drizzle through sunrise. Conditions will improve from sunrise onward as temperatures warm enough to begin to melt any ice, with temperatures generally above freezing throughout the day. * WHAT...Freezing drizzle and freezing fog. Additional ice accumulations around a light glaze. * WHERE...In Minnesota, Anoka, Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec, and Washington Counties.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
