La Crosse, WI – Heavy rain and strong winds are forecast to move across Wisconsin tonight, with widespread impacts expected along the I-90 corridor. Gusts reaching 40 mph and rainfall totals of up to 1.5 inches may lead to hazardous travel conditions, especially late tonight into Tuesday morning.
According to the National Weather Service, the storm will sweep through the region starting this evening, bringing steady rainfall and high winds through Tuesday afternoon. Residents are advised to secure outdoor items, such as holiday decorations, and avoid unnecessary travel on exposed roadways during peak gusts.
Temperatures will drop sharply after the storm passes. Wednesday brings a chance of snow showers as highs dip to around 40 degrees, with nighttime lows below 30. Light snow accumulation is possible, especially on grassy surfaces, creating slick conditions.
The weather pattern will stabilize by Thursday, with mostly cloudy skies and highs near 40. Friday is expected to bring partial sunshine, but colder temperatures, with a high of 38 degrees, are likely to persist.
For travelers, the combination of gusty winds and reduced visibility may make driving challenging, especially overnight. Motorists should use caution on highways such as I-90 and local roads where debris and wet conditions may pose risks.
Stay updated on the latest conditions by monitoring forecasts and preparing for rapidly changing weather. Emergency kits and winter car essentials are recommended during this transition to colder weather.
