A cool Friday with snow showers transitions to a breezy Saturday and a warm Sunday across Wisconsin. Here is what to expect region by region this weekend.
3 Things To Know
- Scattered snow showers Friday could briefly reduce visibility across much of Wisconsin
- Saturday turns dry but breezy with cooler temperatures holding in the 40s
- A major warm-up arrives Sunday with highs pushing into the 60s inland
Northeast Wisconsin This Weekend: Green Bay and Door County
Friday brings a late-season reminder that winter is not fully done yet. Behind a cold front, colder air spills in and helps trigger scattered snow showers during the late morning and afternoon. Accumulations stay light, mainly on grassy areas, but brief drops in visibility could impact travel at times.
Saturday starts chilly but trends quieter. High pressure settles in, leading to a dry day with gradual improvement through the afternoon. Temperatures remain cool, but the pattern begins to shift.
Sunday is the payoff. A return flow sets up across the region, allowing temperatures to surge well into the 60s inland, though lakeshore communities will stay cooler.
Southeast Wisconsin This Weekend: Milwaukee and the Lakeshore
Friday features scattered snow showers developing during the afternoon as a weak disturbance moves through. These will be hit or miss, but any heavier burst could briefly reduce visibility during the afternoon commute. Winds will also be gusty, adding to the chill.
Saturday is quiet but still cool. High pressure keeps conditions dry with highs mainly in the 40s, though a few spots inland may flirt with 50 degrees.
Sunday marks a clear transition to spring. Southerly winds develop and temperatures climb into the 60s inland. Lakeshore areas will lag behind due to cooler air off Lake Michigan.
Western Wisconsin This Weekend: La Crosse and the Mississippi River Valley
Friday carries a lower chance for snow showers, mainly north and east of I-94. If they do develop, expect quick-moving bursts that could briefly reduce visibility, but most areas stay dry.
Saturday turns breezy and dry, with increasing winds and very low humidity. While not quite reaching critical levels, there is a signal for elevated fire weather conditions, especially during the afternoon.
Sunday continues the warming trend, with temperatures climbing steadily as southwest flow strengthens. The region heads into early next week with much milder air in place.
The Bottom Line
This weekend delivers a classic Wisconsin transition. Friday reminds us winter is still nearby with scattered snow showers and brisk winds. Saturday offers a quiet reset with cool and breezy conditions. By Sunday, spring takes control with a noticeable warm-up and much more comfortable temperatures across the state.
