La Crosse, Wis. – Residents along the Iowa-Wisconsin border should prepare for showers and a slight chance of thunder as a wet stretch moves in tonight and lingers through Thursday. Northeast Iowa and southwest Wisconsin could see isolated storms by late Thursday, though most areas will experience light to moderate rain and cooler, seasonable air.
According to the National Weather Service in La Crosse, highs today will reach the mid to upper 60s before clouds increase this evening. Rain is expected to arrive overnight and persist into Thursday, with a 10–20% chance of thunderstorms in localized areas—especially near Decorah, IA, and Prairie du Chien, WI.
Cities like La Crosse, Viroqua, and Waukon can expect overnight lows in the 40s, with daytime temperatures remaining in the upper 50s to low 60s. Roads may become slick during heavier showers, and while flooding is not expected, visibility could be reduced during the morning commute.
Drivers are encouraged to use caution on wet roadways and check local DOT updates for travel impacts. Residents should also ensure sump pumps are functional and avoid outdoor activities during potential thunderstorm periods.
The rain should taper off by Thursday evening, but more spring systems are possible this weekend. Stay tuned to local alerts for the latest updates.
