April weather forecast
Wisconsin, USA

April marks a distinct shift toward spring in Wisconsin, offering residents and visitors a break from the frigid winter months. In the northern counties, temperatures often range from 25°F (-3.9°C) to 50°F (10°C), while the southern regions see a milder spectrum from 35°F (1.7°C) to 60°F (15.6°C). Compared to March, the temperatures start to climb, making April one of the more temperable spring months.

In terms of precipitation, April is one of the rainiest months in Wisconsin, particularly in the late spring. While snowfall becomes increasingly rare, some flurries can still occur in the northern and western parts. Rain begins to replace snow as the dominant form of precipitation, particularly in the southern areas. This shift is a boon for agriculture, preparing the land for planting and contributing to fertile river valleys.

Daylight continues to increase, offering more time for outdoor activities. Yet, it's important to note that the state is prone to thunderstorms and even tornadoes during this period, especially in the south and east. Therefore, despite the more agreeable temperatures, the weather can still be unpredictable.

Cities near Lake Michigan, such as Milwaukee, experience the lake's temperate influence, which often results in cooler conditions compared to the rest of the state. Here, spring arrives more subtly, as the large body of water takes longer to warm up.

Although April does not hold any records for extreme weather in the state, it stands out for its transitional characteristics. It serves as a period when Wisconsin sheds its winter coat, albeit slowly, to welcome the renewing energies of spring. With the thawing of rivers and the budding of flora, April is a harbinger of the more temperate months to come.
