Milwaukee Weather: Dense AM fog, thunderstorms likely
Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell
MILWAUKEE - Southern Wisconsin starts Friday with dense fog and quickly transitions into an active weather day as a warm front lifts north.
Showers and thunderstorms arrive in the morning, followed by a second round Friday evening that could produce strong to severe storms with hail, gusty winds and even a tornado risk.
Rainfall totals around an inch or more may lead to standing water since the ground is still partially frozen.
