The "Devil Comet," officially known as 12/P Pons-Brooks, will be visible in Wisconsin for the first time in 71 years from mid-March to mid-April, with the best viewing time on April 21.

It can be seen with binoculars or a telescope just after sunset, located south and to the left of Jupiter. Although not visible during the upcoming partial solar eclipse on April 8, the comet's visibility will diminish as the sun sets later, making early April the best time for viewing in Milwaukee.

A record stretch of thick fog has blanketed the Lower 48 states, causing disruptions in flights, vehicle accidents, and school delays. This advection fog, caused by warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico being transported over a layer of cold air near the ground, has led to dense fog advisories affecting nearly a third of the U.S. population and parts of 27 states. The fog outbreak is expected to diminish as a storm system sweeps from the Mississippi Valley to the East Coast by the weekend, increasing winds to mix out the soupy air.
