Fog first, then a mostly sunny stretch

Saturday starts gray. Patchy fog hangs over Brookfield before 8 a.m., and a slight chance of rain showers lingers into the day. The high reaches near 62, with temperatures easing to around 55 in the afternoon, and the northwest wind stays light at 2 to 12 mph. The chance of rain is 20 percent, so the morning's outdoor plans — the Festival of Crafts at Whisconier Middle School and the household hazardous waste drop-off at Brookfield High School, both starting at 9 a.m. — should go ahead with a jacket and little else to worry about.

Saturday night brings the week's best chance of rain: showers are possible before 4 a.m., with a mostly cloudy sky and a low around 41. The northwest wind picks up to around 10 mph, gusting as high as 21 mph, and the chance of precipitation rises to 40 percent.

Sunday clears out. Mostly sunny skies return with a high near 60, cooling to around 56 in the afternoon, and a west wind at 6 to 14 mph with gusts as high as 24 mph. Sunday night is mostly clear with a low around 40.

Monday stays mostly sunny, with a high near 57 and a west wind at 7 to 15 mph, gusting as high as 25 mph. Monday night turns partly cloudy with a low around 36. Tuesday brings more of the same: mostly sunny with a high near 61. Veterans Day on Wednesday looks mostly sunny too, with a high near 59.

The takeaway for the weekend: Saturday morning asks for a little patience, and the rest of the stretch rewards it. Layers for the morning fog, sunglasses by the afternoon.
