According to the National Weather Service in La Crosse, calm early conditions give way to increasing southwest winds and sunshine through the day. Travel remains smooth, and roads stay dry through the afternoon.
Changes begin late tonight as clouds increase and a slight chance of showers develops after sunset. Roads remain mostly dry, but damp patches may appear toward early Sunday.
