It doesn’t look like much, and will be over by…

11/27 Ryan’s “Foggy” Wednesday Morning Forecast

Yesterday's front cooled things down a bit, but didn't really dry them out which led to a foggy start.

Yesterday’s cold front brought some slightly cooler weather, but it wasn’t much drier, leading to a foggy start to your Wednesday. We even had some Dense Fog Advisories early on, but those have since expired thanks to some cloud cover drifting across the area. That’s how fickle fog can be, just that one little change made a big difference between…
