La Crosse, Wisconsin – Warm and breezy spring weather will sweep through La Crosse this Sunday and Monday, but thunderstorm risks could disrupt travel and outdoor plans starting Tuesday afternoon. Temperatures will surge into the 80s, marking a summer-like stretch that sets the stage for unstable air and scattered storms by midweek.
According to the National Weather Service in La Crosse, the area will climb to 77°F on Sunday under clear skies, followed by a hotter 82°F on Monday. Winds will stay light, but a shift to southeasterly flow Tuesday could pull moisture into the region. A 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms begins after 1 p.m. Tuesday, with the most notable impact expected along Highway 35 and local routes near the Mississippi River.
La Crosse County residents should stay weather-aware as gusts may reach 24 mph by Friday. While early-week days will stay dry and warm, the pattern grows more volatile by midweek. Showers and thunderstorms become increasingly likely Wednesday afternoon and evening, with a 40% chance of rain and locally strong wind.
Monday night offers a quiet window for preparation—charge electronics, secure patio furniture, and monitor weather alerts. Wednesday’s high will still approach 84°F before another round of storms sweeps in.
Looking ahead, temperatures dip slightly by Friday with a high near 72°F and continued storm chances. Be prepared for changing plans and possible delays—especially for commuters on I-90 and Highway 35.
