SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM...

PROVIDING A LIGHT NORTHWEST TO NORTH WIND OF 5 TO 10 MPH.  THIS WILL
RESULT IN ANOTHER PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY DAY WITH HIGHS REACHING BETWEEN
80 AND 85 DEGREES. A FEW WIDELY SPACED SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS MAY
DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON WITH BRIEF...LOCALIZED AND MAINLY LIGHT RAINFALL
AMOUNTS.  AS SKIES CLEAR THIS EVENING...COMBINED WITH A NEARLY CALM
WIND...THE MERCURY WILL FALL INTO THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S PRODUCING
SIGNIFICANT AREAS OF FOG...LOCALLY DENSE...AROUND AND ESPECIALLY AFTER
MIDNIGHT WITH VISIBILITIES REDUCED AS LOW AS A FEW HUNDRED FEET AT
TIMES.   A DENSE FOG ADVISORY MAY BE NECESSARY TONIGHT INTO MONDAY

MOTORISTS SHOULD BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL AT NIGHT IN FOG AND REDUCE SPEED
AND ALLOW FOR EXTRA DISTANCE BETWEEN VEHICLES.

SPOTTER ACTIVATION SHOULD NOT BE NEEDED TODAY OR TONIGHT BUT ANY REPORTS
OF DENSE FOG WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
