• Special Weather Statement
  Special Weather Statement: ...Dense fog expected overnight and Thursday morning... Moisture working north over the remaining snow cover will generate widespread dense fog tonight. Fog is considered dense when it reduces the visibility to 1/4 mile or less. A band of showers working north from southern Wisconsin may result in temporary improvements in the visibility over central and possibly east-central Wisconsin late tonight. But overall...the poor visibilities will continue well into Thursday morning. In foggy weather...the most common mistake made by motorists is driving too fast. When fog reduces the visibility significantly... it is important to slow down to the point where you can safely stop your vehicle within the distance illuminated by your headlights. This often means driving at a speed much lower than the posted speed limit. Also...always use your low-beam headlights when driving in fog. Be sure to use them even during the daytime...as they make your vehicle more visible to other motorists. A slow improvement in conditions is expected late Thursday morning and Thursday afternoon.
