La Crosse, WI – La Crosse residents can expect cloudy skies and seasonal temperatures as the region experiences a drier stretch today. Though overcast conditions dominate, relief is expected as skies gradually clear by Friday, offering an opportunity for locals to enjoy outdoor activities before precipitation returns over the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in La Crosse, Thursday’s forecast includes mostly cloudy skies with temperatures between 50 and 55 degrees Fahrenheit, providing mild yet consistent fall weather. Friday will bring clearer skies, with highs again reaching into the low 50s, ideal for daytime outings and evening strolls as temperatures dip to the 30s overnight.
However, locals should prepare for rain to return early on Saturday morning. Saturday’s high will hover around 55 degrees with increasing chances of rain, potentially impacting morning commuters and weekend plans. The showers are likely to extend into Sunday, with temperatures expected to reach up to 60 degrees, continuing the trend of moderate autumn weather.
Drivers along major routes, including Interstate 90 and Highway 53, should be cautious of possible slick conditions if precipitation intensifies over the weekend. The gradual clearing by Friday offers a brief window of clearer skies, providing an ideal time for any outdoor plans or travel before wetter conditions resume.
Residents are encouraged to monitor local forecasts, stay updated on potential weather changes, and take necessary precautions for the expected rain. Keep an eye on weekend plans as the rain could bring slippery roads and reduced visibility in the La Crosse area.
