...FOG WILL BE DENSE AT TIMES THROUGH TONIGHT...

Thanks to the rain and wet ground, along with light winds and some
clearing skies, fog will be more prevalent through tonight.
Visibilities will drop at times to under a quarter mile,
especially across the higher ridges. Those traveling through
early Monday morning will need to be watchful for areas of dense
fog. Slow down, use your low beams, and allow more braking
distance between you and the vehicle ahead of you.
