Thick fog covers much of the area east of U.S. Route 29 this Monday morning, with a Dense Fog Advisory in place until 10:00 a.m. The cold front which slowly crossed the Appalachians yesterday has settled nearby as it dissipates, leaving enough moisture in place to condense into fog as temperatures neared the air's dew point overnight. Visibility will improve as the sun does its warming thing, "mixing out" - not "burning off" - the fog.
Local thermometers will climb from this morning's mid-50s into the mid-70s this afternoon under sunny skies. Meanwhile, today's emphasis during this Severe Weather Awareness Week centers on the difference between Watches and Warnings. This video explains:
Tonight, temperatures will drop into the low 50s under clear skies and with light winds. More fog could be on the weather menu early Tuesday morning as thermometer readings again approach the dew point. Tomorrow afternoon's highs will boost into the low 80s under continued clear skies, providing another preliminary taste of spring.
Also occurring on Tuesday morning, there will be a statewide Tornado Drill conducted at 9:45 a.m. Organizations and individuals are encouraged to register for and participate in this event as part of their severe weather plans. It's important to know where safe places are and when to head there if severe weather is imminent.
