Special Weather Statement
Pockets of fog are developing across southern Wisconsin early this
morning, particularly along and west of the Kettle Moraine.
Fog has mainly focused near rivers, creeks, and other low-lying
spots, though additional development is possible through daybreak.
While localized, brief drops in visibility to and below a mile
are possible within pockets of fog. Given the potential for abrupt
drops in visibility, budget a few extra minutes of travel time if
planning to take to the roads. Use low beam headlights and allow
for extra following distance if encountering areas of fog.
Conditions will quickly improve following sunrise.
