Once again, heavy dense fog is likely tonight following our early evening light rain. This fog will likely be just as thick Tuesday morning as it was this morning.

Thunderstorms will develop Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday. The best chance for active weather for the entire region returns on Thursday.
