Freezing Fog Again Tonight... Nice Warm Up Coming on Friday!

Cold high pressure is shifting off to the southeast., and weakening.   A light southerly air flow has already developed. The dew points have already risen into the upper teens, and with the temperature expected to drop into the teens. Freezing fog will develop again overnight.  Clouds will increase overnight too as increasing amounts of moisture move northward out of the Gulf of Mexico into the Midwest.  There may be some lingering freezing fog in the early morning on Wednesday.  It will be warmer under cloudy skies on Wednesday with a high in the middle 30's.  Temperatures may drop a couple of degrees on Wednesday night, and then hold steady for awhile, before rising after midnight.  So, the drizzle or light rain that begins early on Wednesday night will be the freezing variety.  On Thursday there will be lots of fog along with drizzle, and maybe some light rain.  Fog maybe thick on Thursday night with temperatures holding in the upper 30's.  On Friday rain showers will be likely, and there might even be some thunderstorms.  There will be lots of melting snow on Friday, and ponding of water on streets around the Stateline. Enough rain may fall to cause rises on area streams later Friday into Friday night.  The preciptation will change from rain Friday evening to freezing rain, and then to snow as temperatures plunge by midnight.  It looks like it could be a flash freeze situation freezing  changing the wet streets into sheets of ice.  Be very careful if you are out and about on New Years Eve.  Saturday will be breezy, and much colder with some snow flurries with a high only in the low 20's.  The sun comes back to us on Sunday with a high in the middle 20's.
