Milwaukee residents woke up to heavy fog Saturday, with visibility dropping to less than a mile in some areas. The National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan issued a Dense Fog Advisory for parts of east central, south central, and southeast Wisconsin until 9 a.m. CDT. Drivers were urged to slow down, use headlights, and keep a safe distance on the roads to avoid accidents. Conditions are expected to improve later in the day.
Moving on to the bigger picture—because let's face it, fog can't hog all the attention—the forecast looks up from there, promising a patchy fog exit stage left by 8 am, followed by a sunny high near 85 degrees with just a whisper of a west wind 5 to 10 mph. Firmly driving with the top down and sunglasses on, tonight marks a clear, calm turn with a low around 59 degrees, and if you thought that sounded nice, the rest of the week is playing the same pleasant tune.
For those with a keen eye on the skies, the weather outlook is a reassuring pat on the back. The Hazardous Weather Outlook, penned by the National Weather Service, is all clear post-fog. "No hazardous weather is expected at this time," maintains the report, providing peace of mind for event planners and park-goers alike from Sunday through Friday. Spotter activation won't be needed, offering some respite to those dedicated volunteers who keep an eye on severe weather.
Milwaukee can expect a calm week of weather with sunny skies and highs in the 70s. Overnight lows will dip into the upper 50s to low 60s. The mild conditions make for great opportunities to enjoy the outdoors or relax at local cafés.
