Forecasting the weather is often about as predictable as a game of roulette, but when the National Weather Service pipes up with some specifics, it's usually wise to listen. Milwaukee residents woke up to a gentle nudge from the NWS this morning, alerting them to some patchy fog before they embark on their Labor Day weekend plans, albeit with the promise of sunshine to follow.

Fog in Milwaukee should clear by 7:52 a.m. with temperatures reaching a high near 74°F. Tonight will be partly cloudy with a low around 59°F, humidity near 87%, and light northwest winds at 6 mph.

The National Weather Service says today’s fog will clear with no major weather concerns for now. By Wednesday, however, showers and thunderstorms are likely after 1 p.m., with an 80% chance of rain.

The National Weather Service predicts that Milwaukee and its surrounding areas may experience fog again tonight, particularly west of the Kettle Moraine. Thunderstorms are possible from Wednesday through Thursday, but until then, the forecast stays mostly clear.

The National Weather Service states that storm spotters are not currently needed. Milwaukee may see some patchy fog, but otherwise, the weather looks mostly clear for Labor Day. Thunderstorms are possible later this week.
