about this dense fog advisory.
This was just issued by the National Weather Service. It does
not include all of our counties as of right now,
but it does include Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee,
Washington, and Racine counties,
and it runs until 10 a.m. I wouldn't be surprised if we see
more counties added here throughout the night,
as again, that dense fog is spreading inland as our
inland communities are starting to cool.
Now, we call it dense fog when the visibility is at a
quarter of a mile or less
so that's what we're seeing in many of our lakeshore and even some
inland communities tonight well you're gonna have
to take my word for this one i had to double check
what camera this was this is downtown tonight
and you can't see a thing we are totally fogged in
and this is hands down my favorite image of the night
this is our esterbrook park tower camera
about a thousand feet up let me step out of the way
so we've talked about how fog is a stratus
cloud right it's a stratus cloud on the ground
and it is only a few hundred feet above the ground
and then it's completely clear
so at camera level here from that esterbrook park tower camera that
we have there on the tower you can see that it is totally clear
but yet here on the ground
we are totally fogged in 54 degrees dew point 54 it means
the air can't hold any more water so we
get the fog wind is light out of the northeast
and air pressure looking good so we're dropping
through the 50s tonight we're going to hold pretty steady all night
because once that temperature
hits the dew point well it can't drop below the dew point
so we're going to stay in the 50s all
night here with that fog around not much going
on across most of the country severe weather though
continues in the southwest let's get
into sky vision plus here quickly because i do want to
show you that we are going to be seeing
this dense fog continuing overnight until about 10 o'clock in
the morning once we get past there we got
a beautiful day ahead for us here the model picking
up on that fog but then no fog tomorrow night
because we're not going to have as high of dew
points so good news to report there we are in store
for just a wonderful wonderful Friday once
we get rid of this fog temperatures a little cooler near the lake
and just a little warmer
inland tomorrow we'll go about 65 to 70
so tailgating i'm putting it all on here for you
And it looks phenomenal Friday and again on Saturday.
I mean, you talk about a gorgeous stretch of weather on the way.
Now, things start to change next week with temperatures in the 50s
and rain chances return, especially on Tuesday.
