Here's what The Old Farmers' Almanac forecast for spring weather in Wisconsin's region.

WISCONSIN — Winter will try its best to keep Wisconsin within its icy clutches as we emerge into spring, but as the warmth sets in, we could be in for some above-average precipitation, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac’s 2023 spring weather forecast.

Here’s what we can expect in Wisconsin in the months ahead, according to the Almanac:

March: Pockets of chill are expected to linger around parts of the Great Lakes, while precipitation could be on the drier side.

In general, the forecast calls for fairly mild temperatures in most places, but people who live in the north shouldn’t retire their cold-weather gear for the season.

Temperatures are expected to be below normal in those regions, and people from the mid-Atlantic to the Appalachians to the Rockies also shouldn’t be surprised by late winter blasts of cold air, the forecast said.

Texas and Oklahoma, the Deep South and Florida are all expected to see warmer than usual temperatures.

Rainfall is expected to be normal to above normal in many other parts of the country, including Oklahoma and Texas. However, the forecast calls for below normal rain in Southern California and the Southwest.
