Milwaukee started Friday in dense fog, with temperatures around 51 degrees and visibility near a quarter-mile in spots. The murk should lift through late morning, setting up a partly sunny afternoon with a high in the upper 60s to near 70.
Dense Fog Advisory Covers The Morning Commute
The National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan office has a Dense Fog Advisory in effect for Milwaukee County until 10 a.m. Friday. Drivers should slow down, turn on headlights and leave extra distance, especially where visibility remains poor.
Fog Clears Before A Dry Weekend Warmup
Friday afternoon should turn mostly sunny with southeast winds around 5 to 10 mph, and Friday night lows are expected in the upper 40s to lower 50s. The sharper fog alert is the main change from Thursday's earlier Hoodline forecast, which highlighted the dry, mild weekend but did not include Friday morning's advisory.
Saturday will be partly sunny and reach about 70, while Sunday should be the warmest day of the weekend at around 69, with southerly winds through at least the first half of the day before shifting northerly later. The forecast stays dry, making the weekend the easiest window for walks, errands and outdoor plans before clouds build early next week.
Cooler Northeast Winds Arrive Monday
Monday turns mostly cloudy with northeast winds and a high near 59. Tuesday holds near 57, Wednesday reaches about 58, and rain chances of 20% to 30% are possible during the middle to later part of next week.
