LA CROSSE, WI – A blanket of low clouds drapes the bluffs this morning as a light, steady rain taps on windows and dampens roads across the La Crosse area. This cool, gray start marks the last gasp of a weak system sliding east, clearing out right as the brighter half of the weekend arrives.
A few spotty showers may hang on through midmorning before clouds thin and ceilings lift. Temperatures will ease into the lower 50s by afternoon, with gentle southeast winds around 5 to 8 mph. Watch for slick patches early—especially on bridges and in shaded stretches—but a drying trend is expected later in the day.
Sunday brings a full reversal: mostly clear skies, abundant sunshine, and highs near 62°F. A light south-southwest breeze will nudge in milder air, setting up a comfortable feel that carries into Monday. After several gray days, Sunday’s warmth should feel like a welcome late-fall lull—ideal for raking leaves or a stroll along the riverfront.
Looking ahead, Monday stays bright and pleasant before clouds return Monday night, signaling the next opportunity for rain. Scattered showers are possible Tuesday and may linger into midweek, though the overall pattern remains seasonably mild with highs hovering near 55°F.
Enjoy the break in wet weather before a more unsettled stretch arrives closer to Halloween—a reminder that November’s chill is just around the corner.
