.DISCUSSION...
Strengthening southerly winds will continue to advect moisture
inland today allowing dewpoints to climb. A cold front passage tonight
will bring a small shot of drier air for Tuesday however, this
will be brief as onshore flow returns Tuesday night. Moisture
returns through Wednesday until another cold front moves through
the region on Thanksgiving. Small rain chances can be expected
with tonight`s front, with slightly better rain chances expected
Thursday.
Fog is not expected Tuesday morning behind the cold front as
dewpoints will be dropping and winds will stay somewhat elevated.
