Unseasonably Cold Tonight with Gradually Decreasing Clouds -Bill Graul

Tonight’s Forecast Low: 29F / Tuesday’s Forecast High: 49F…

Cloudy and blustery this evening, perhaps a few sprinkles in spots. Gradually decreasing clouds overnight, with unseasonably cold lows in the 23-30F range. Our average low in La Crosse this time of year is 42F. NW winds 5-15, gusts to 20 mph… will cause wind chills in the teens to low-mid 20s.

Monday Night Forecast

Unseasonably cool Tuesday with a mix of sun and clouds. Expect highs in the 40s for most, perhaps some low 50s south. NW winds 5-15 mph, with gusts around 20 mph, will make it feel even chillier. Our average high in La Crosse for April 26th is 64F!

It’s going to remain unseasonably cool through at least Thursday, with highs in the low-mid 40s Wednesday… then 45-50F on Thursday. More clouds than sun Wednesday and some spots could see some sprinkles or flurries. A weak disturbance will bring a slight chance of rain showers on Thursday. Mostly cloudy and not as cool Friday, with highs in the upper 50s to around 60F.

Looking Ahead… High temps over the weekend look to be in the upper 50s to low 60s, so still a bit below average. Another rather potent area of low pressure will bring a chance of showers and perhaps some thunderstorms on Saturday, then lingering showers will be possible on Sunday. This system will once again crank up the wind across the region both days as well. Mostly cloudy, but dry next Monday with highs in the 55-60F range, then a small chance of t-showers next Tuesday with highs in the low 60s.

Have a good night and a great week ahead! Think Spring! -Bill Graul
