·2 min
The episode opens with a warning about dense fog in central Wisconsin reducing visibility to under a quarter mile, particularly along Highway 29 between Warsaw and Green Bay. It advises allowing extra travel time for morning commutes. Temperatures start in the low 40s but warm to 52 degrees by noon across most of the state. However, temperatures will then steadily drop through the afternoon and evening, reaching 37 degrees by 5 a.m. Saturday. Winds shift from westerly to northwesterly around 9 a.m., bringing cooler air from Canada. The forecast notes dry conditions throughout the 24-hour period. Northeast Wisconsin experiences the thickest fog this morning, especially near the Bay Area due to high moisture levels. South central Wisconsin, including Madison, clears out first as the morning progresses. Southeast Wisconsin sees improving conditions by mid-morning, with Milwaukee and Racine enjoying mostly sunny skies by lunchtime. With temperatures in the low 50s, it's a good day for outdoor projects before cooler air settles in tonight. Listeners are advised to secure loose items like patio furniture or trash cans before northwest winds pick up. The fog may cause school buses to run late, so extra commute time is recommended. Evening activities require a jacket due to noticeable temperature drops after sunset. The episode concludes by describing this as typical March weather in Wisconsin with morning fog, mid-day warmth, and evening cooling. It encourages checking local forecasts for specific timing and invites comments on the forecast.
