Plaincast
What the forecast actually says — NWS Area Forecast Discussions, decoded into plain English.
Plaincast decodes the National Weather Service's Area Forecast Discussion — the real forecast, written 3 to 4 times a day by the meteorologist on shift — into plain English. The discussion is where a forecaster explains their reasoning: which models disagree, what they are watching, and how confident they are. Below is the current edition for Milwaukee, with its shorthand expanded. The full experience — an AI plain-English summary beside the annotated original — loads with JavaScript, and every one of the 68 forecast offices has its own edition.
A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 9 AM for Sheboygan, Ozaukee and Washington Counties.
Above normal temperatures & rain-free conditions continue into the weekend.
Temperatures closer to normal early next week, followed by a return to warmer weather midweek.
The fog has dissipated a bit in coverage this morning, but patchy dense fog still remains north of Milwaukee. Thus the Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 9 AM for Sheboygan, Ozaukee and Washington Counties. Otherwise partly to mostly cloudy skies and mild temperatures will continue today and Sunday as upper ridging builds over the Great Lakes then shifts ewd in response to the large occlusion from Manitoba to Hudson Bay. A Canadian cold front will then pass Sun nt with temperatures returning to near normal for Mon-Tue.
