Milwaukee, Wisconsin – Drivers across southeast Wisconsin should stay alert this morning as dense patchy fog could reduce visibility along I-94 and I-43, especially in lower elevations and lakeside counties. Conditions will clear by mid-morning Tuesday, but eyes are already on a possible round of thunderstorms arriving by Friday night.
According to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan, early fog Tuesday is concentrated in the Wisconsin River Valley and lakeside areas including Sheboygan, Ozaukee, Washington, and Waukesha counties. Calm winds and high humidity are contributing to low visibility, especially before 8 a.m. This evening looks calm and mostly clear with lows near 60°F.
Looking ahead, Milwaukee stays mostly sunny and warm through Thursday, with highs in the upper 70s. By Friday, clouds increase and the chance for thunderstorms rises into Saturday. Winds shift out of the northeast by Thursday evening, bringing in more moisture and cooler air. Weekend highs will stay in the low 70s with on-and-off rain possible through Monday.
Anyone traveling Friday night into Saturday should monitor forecasts closely, especially along major routes like I-94. While no severe storms are expected at this time, wet roads and reduced visibility could lead to hazardous driving conditions.
Stay weather-aware as the fall pattern strengthens. Additional advisories may be issued later this week.
