Traveling today ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday may be a bit of an issue. Light snow accumulations, less than 2″, will be possible north of Wisconsin Dells. If you are planning travel to the north and west, heavier snow is expected from the northwestern third of Iowa to southern and eastern Minnesota, including the Twin Cities metropolitan area, and the northwestern third of Wisconsin, including Eau Claire, Wausau and Rhinelander. Parts of north-central Wisconsin and the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan may see snow totals approaching 1 foot by this afternoon because of lake-effect snow from Lake Superior. Travel may also be affected by high winds today. Southeasterly winds will switch to the west and northwest this morning and increase in speed, drawing colder air across the state. A Wind Advisory has been issued for southern Wisconsin today.
