March weather forecast
Wisconsin, USA

March heralds the arrival of late winter and early spring in Wisconsin. While the month can still experience some harsh winter conditions, especially in the northern regions, it also brings the promise of milder temperatures. In the north, the typical temperature range for March is from 10°F (-12.2°C) to 35°F (1.7°C). In contrast, southern Wisconsin experiences a range from 25°F (-3.9°C) to 45°F (7.2°C).

Compared to the more severe weather of January and February, March is a transitional month. The snowfall, while still present, especially in the northern highlands and western uplands, generally begins to taper off. In southern parts of the state, rain starts to become a more common form of precipitation, signaling the approach of spring.

The city of Wisconsin Dells, known for holding the state's highest temperature record, starts to witness a shift from frozen to flowing waters in its iconic river formations. Despite this, March doesn't hold any records for extreme temperatures or precipitation.

While the duration of snow cover starts to lessen, especially in southern areas, the north near Lake Superior can still expect a snowy ground. This region retains its snow cover for a long period, often extending into the first few weeks of spring.

Daylight hours also start to lengthen, providing more opportunities for outdoor activities. Although March doesn't offer the most favorable weather, it serves as a turning point from the long, cold winter toward the more temperate conditions of spring.
