.DISCUSSION...
Dense fog this morning will likely linger through mid morning. A
warm front will eventually lift northward through the site by the
early afternoon which will allow temperatures to warm significantly.
Southerly winds will increase behind the front, with some gusts as
high as 15-20 mph possible. While there could again be some fog
around tonight, dense fog is not anticipated and southerly winds
will remain up through the night. A band of showers, and possibly
a thunderstorm, will move in to the area by the mid to late morning
hours on Thursday.

Fog potential for tonight: Moderate.
