Wisconsin is enjoying a taste of spring this week, with sunny skies and mild temperatures, but winter isn’t over yet. A system moving in this weekend could bring rain and snow, potentially impacting travel across the state.
According to the National Weather Service, Tuesday, March 11, will be mostly sunny across Green Bay and La Crosse. Highs will range from the upper 30s to mid-40s, with calm winds. Warmer air moves in by midweek, pushing highs into the upper 50s and mid-60s by Thursday and Friday.
However, by Saturday, March 15, rain is likely, with a 70% chance of showers in La Crosse and Green Bay. A mix of rain and snow could develop overnight, with temperatures dropping into the 20s. By Sunday, March 16, forecasters predict a chance of accumulating snow, with gusty winds reaching up to 26 mph.
Drivers should prepare for changing road conditions, especially on highways like I-90 near La Crosse and I-41 near Green Bay. While accumulation amounts are uncertain, slick roads and reduced visibility could be concerns.
The five-day outlook suggests a brief return to winter before another warm-up next week. Residents should stay updated on local forecasts and be prepared for potential travel disruptions this weekend.
