Not as Warm or Humid Tonight, Storms Stay East -Bill Graul

Tonight’s Forecast Low: 60F / Saturday’s Forecast High: 84F…

New record high was set in La Crosse today… marking 3 days in a row with record heat across at least parts of the region. The good news today is it wasn’t nearly as humid with dew points in the 40s and 50s, rather than 60s and 70s like the past couple days.

A cold front is now to our east and this will keep the chance of storms to our east this evening and tonight. Just a mix of clouds and stars in our area and it won’t be as warm and humid tonight. Expect lows in the 53-60F range for most areas.

Friday Night Forecast

Expect sunny to partly cloudy skies Saturday with just a small chance for a few isolated t-showers in spots during the afternoon and evening. The chance is only around 20% or less, so most areas should remain dry. Still warm Saturday with highs in the 80-85F range. More clouds Sunday, but some sun should mix in as well. Like Saturday, just a low-end chance for a shower in spots on Sunday. A bit cooler Sunday with highs in the low-mid 70s.

Looking Ahead… Cooler heading into next week with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s Monday through Wednesday. Monday and Tuesday look dry at this point, with a slight chance of showers Tuesday night and Wednesday.

Small chance of t-showers Thursday with highs warming back into the mid 70s. Even warmer next Friday and Saturday with highs back around 80F or warmer, especially Saturday. Friday looks mainly dry, then a slight chance of showers and t-storms Saturday. Happy Friday and have a great weekend! -Bill Graul
