La Crosse, Wisconsin – Warmer temperatures are expected to return Sunday and Monday across the region, bringing a brief stretch of mild early-spring conditions.
According to the National Weather Service in La Crosse, temperatures will rebound after a chilly Saturday, with highs Sunday climbing into the mid-50s to lower 60s across parts of western Wisconsin, southeast Minnesota, and northeast Iowa.
Forecasters say Sunday should remain partly cloudy and dry, followed by similar conditions Monday as temperatures continue trending above seasonal averages. Highs Monday could reach the upper 50s to upper 60s in some communities.
The warming trend comes after overnight lows Saturday night are expected to fall into the 30–35 degree range, with partly to mostly cloudy skies.
However, the quieter weather may not last long.
The next chance for precipitation is expected to arrive Tuesday into Wednesday, when a developing system could bring rain and possibly snow to parts of the Upper Mississippi River Valley.
According to the National Weather Service, early projections suggest a 20–60% chance of precipitation Tuesday, with chances increasing Wednesday to around 30–50% in some areas. Meteorologists say it remains too early to determine precipitation types or any potential accumulation.
Forecasters emphasized that details will become clearer over the next several days as the midweek system develops.
For commuters and travelers, the early-week warmth may provide a brief break from colder conditions before the next round of unsettled weather arrives.
Students, early-morning workers, and regional commuters may notice the warmer start to the week compared to recent chilly mornings.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updates from the National Weather Service La Crosse office as the midweek system approaches.
