Milwaukee experienced dense fog and damp conditions this morning, with visibility reduced to four miles. At 6:52 a.m. CST, the temperature was 50°F, according to the National Weather Service. The fog is expected to impact the morning commute, and the NWS has advised drivers to use caution on the roads.

The humidity was recorded at 96%, contributing to a thick, damp haze over the city. The light southward breeze, at 3 mph, was not strong enough to clear the fog. Dewdrops were visible on various surfaces, with the dewpoint near 49 degrees.

Travelers should be aware of reduced visibility today, which could impact travel times and increase the risk of accidents. Milwaukee's Department of Public Works is monitoring the situation but has not issued any advisories. Motorists are advised to keep headlights on, maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, and reduce speed as needed.

Clearer skies may be delayed, as the barometric pressure remains steady at 29.82 inches (1010.1 millibars), suggesting the foggy conditions could persist for some time. For the latest weather updates, residents can visit the National Weather Service website.
