Wisconsin – Clouds are already thinning over La Crosse this morning, but a sharp temperature drop later today will set up slick conditions by early Monday.
According to the National Weather Service in La Crosse, skies will gradually clear through the day with highs reaching near 47°F. North winds remain light near 8 mph, helping dry out surfaces by afternoon.
Across western Wisconsin and nearby Minnesota communities like La Crescent and Winona, improving visibility and drier pavement will make for easier travel through the day. Still, the bigger concern arrives after sunset as temperatures fall quickly to around 25°F.
That drop could trigger patchy refreezing on untreated roads, bridges, and sidewalks. Drivers along US-53 and Highway 35 should watch for isolated slick spots during the early Monday commute. Plan ahead and allow extra stopping distance.
Sunshine dominates Monday with a high near 49°F, offering a brief stretch of calm spring weather. Clouds return Monday night, keeping lows milder near 37°F.
A steady warm-up builds by Tuesday, with highs climbing to 56°F under mostly cloudy skies. Winds shift southwest, signaling a more active pattern developing midweek.
By Wednesday, light showers become possible with highs near 57°F. Rain chances linger into Thursday, though temperatures hold steady in the upper 50s.
This pattern reflects early spring swings, from chilly mornings to milder afternoons. Stay alert for freeze-thaw cycles that can impact travel. Are you noticing slick spots in your neighborhood this morning?
