Widespread morning fog not expected this morning. However, can`t rule out an
isolated patchy ground fog threat through mid-morning. Southerly winds 5 to
10 mph to prevail today ahead of a cold front that will move across the region
tonight. Could see a few stray showers and isolated thunderstorms across the
region later today ahead of the front. Otherwise, afternoon relative humidity
values will fall to around 65 percent.
