Milwaukee woke Thursday, August 13, to fog and nearly still air, with temperatures around 70 degrees and humidity at 100%. The murk is expected to thin after sunrise, but pockets of dense fog could linger into the morning commute, especially near Lake Michigan and in low-lying areas.
Showers Arrive By Late Morning
Thursday will remain mostly cloudy, with temperatures climbing to about 77 degrees and a chance of rain showers developing from late morning through the afternoon. The National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan warned that dense fog could briefly reduce visibility to a quarter-mile or less, advising drivers to slow down, use low-beam headlights and leave extra space.
Friday, August 14, brings another mostly cloudy day with a high near 76 and a 30% chance of showers, mainly from late morning into early afternoon. Rain becomes more likely Friday night, when showers and thunderstorms could produce between a tenth and a quarter-inch of rain.
Storm Chances Peak Saturday Into Sunday
Saturday, August 15, currently looks like the wettest part of the weekend, with showers and thunderstorms likely before early afternoon and additional storm chances afterward. The forecast calls for an 80% chance of precipitation and possible rainfall totals between three-quarters of an inch and 1 inch.
Saturday night into Sunday, August 16, keeps the unsettled pattern going, with a 70% chance of showers and thunderstorms Saturday night and another round likely early Sunday.
