1. ANY FOG POTENTIAL WILL BE HIHGLY DEPENDENT ON IF/WHEN RAIN
OCCURS AND HOW MUCH. IF LITTLE RAIN OCCURS THEN THE RISK OF
FOG WILL BE NEAR ZERO. IF RAIN OCCURS LATE AFTERNOON AND INTO
THE EVENING OR THERE IS HEAVY RAIN TODAY THEN FOG WILL BE
POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT BUT SHOULD QUICKLY DISSIPATE AFTER THE SUN
RISES.
2. WINDS WILL BEGIN TO SLOWLY BECOME MORE EAST-SOUTHEASTERLY
BETWEEN 12-2PM. AS THAT HAPPENS THE GRADIENT WIND WILL AUGMENT
THE SEABREEZE AND THAT WILL QUICKLY MOVE IT NORTH OF THE SPOT
LOCATION
3. LIGHT ISOLATED SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE AS EARLY AS THIS
MORNING BUT THE BULK OF THE RAIN TODAY WILL LIKELY BE BETWEEN
11/NOON AND 7/8 PM.
