Langlade County, WI – After a day that began with rain showers and a few rumbles of thunder, most of north central Wisconsin has remained dry. However, the arrival of a cold front has sent temperatures tumbling, with highs in the 50s and low 60s around lunchtime falling steadily into the evening.
Clear skies and light winds tonight will allow temperatures to plummet, with overnight lows expected in the upper 30s and low 40s.
Frost Advisory in Effect
The National Weather Service has issued a Frost Advisory for Langlade County, effective from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. Thursday. Patchy frost is possible, particularly in north central Wisconsin, where conditions are ideal for frost formation.
Residents are urged to cover or bring inside sensitive plants to prevent damage. This early-season frost highlights the rapid seasonal shift as summer gives way to fall.
Cool Days Ahead
Thursday will start off chilly but sunny, with clouds building later in the day. A brisk northwest wind will keep highs in the upper 50s to low 60s, potentially setting a record for the coolest high temperature for the date.
By Thursday night, rain showers are expected to return, continuing into the overnight hours before clearing by the Friday morning commute. Friday is forecast to be the coolest day of the week, with highs once again stuck in the upper 50s to around 60 degrees.
Weekend Outlook: Fall-Like Conditions
Looking ahead, the weekend is expected to be quiet and fall-like, offering ideal conditions for outdoor activities, including the Packers vs. Lions game on Sunday. WAGB reports that the temperatures will remain on the cooler side but comfortable for early September football.
By early to mid next week, forecasters expect a return to near-average temperatures, signaling a short break from the unusually cool stretch.
Seasonal Transition in Full Swing
Meteorologists note that while patchy frost this early in September isn’t unusual, it can catch residents off guard, especially gardeners and farmers still managing late-summer crops. Covering delicate vegetation or moving potted plants indoors remains the best protection.
The sudden swings in temperature also serve as a reminder to prepare for the coming season—checking heating systems, layering clothing, and staying weather-aware as fall fully sets in.
