Drivers in southeast Wisconsin should prepare for limited visibility early Tuesday morning, as dense fog is expected to cling to major roadways, including I-94 and Highway 41. The fog, which is forecast to develop overnight, could cause visibility to drop to near zero in areas such as Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Kenosha counties. Commuters are urged to allow extra travel time, keep headlights on low beam, and remain cautious on the roads until the fog clears by mid-morning.

Once the fog clears, Tuesday will bring sunny skies and unseasonably warm temperatures, with highs reaching the upper 70s. Calm winds will accompany the warm weather, making for a pleasant day across the region.

The chance of rain on Friday is around 30%.
