La Crosse, WI – Wisconsin residents should prepare for frigid conditions lasting well into the first full week of 2025. With temperatures 5 to 10 degrees below seasonal norms, the region faces biting cold and a slight chance for snow midweek.
According to the National Weather Service in La Crosse, Saturday will see sunny skies, but highs will struggle to reach 14°F, with wind chills dipping as low as -8°F. Overnight, expect mostly cloudy skies and a low near 2°F. Sunday looks similar, with partly cloudy skies and highs around 14°F, before dropping to a low near 7°F at night.
Monday offers a brief reprieve, with temperatures reaching 20°F under sunny skies. However, the cold will persist overnight, with lows dipping to 6°F. Light snow could arrive late in the week, increasing the need for caution on area roadways, especially on highways like I-90 and US-53.
Residents are encouraged to limit time outdoors, dress in layers, and ensure vehicles are winter-ready. Frostbite can occur in minutes with wind chills this low. Those using space heaters should practice fire safety and keep heating devices away from flammable materials.
The extended outlook shows continued cold through midweek, with Tuesday’s high near 18°F. Any snow accumulation is likely to be minor, but colder air will dominate until Friday.
