Freezing fog possible Monday morning

Dense fog this morning gave way to a mostly cloudy and mild afternoon. Officially, afternoon highs for most topped out in the low 40s, landing 10°-15° above late-December standards. 

This warmth will stick around overnight as lows drop into the low 30s. Skies remain dry, but mostly cloudy. And in a similar fashion to Sunday morning, the potential for fog, some freezing, will be present during Monday morning's commute.

For the time being, there are no advisories in place, though that may change overnight depending on how fog observations trend. If you plan to travel, use caution and watch out for slick spots.

Temperatures quickly climb above freezing, climbing into the low 40s for one last day. For weather enthusiasts and photographers, be on the lookout for Rime Ice. This is ice that results from freezing fog and is consisted of supercooled droplets that freeze on surfaces that are below freezing.

Fog will be possible into the late morning hours, then giving way to another cloudy afternoon. Clouds stay put into Monday night as a quick-moving disturbance tracks west of the Stateline. At first, this will bring the chance for rain. Though as temperatures cool, we'll see a transition to a rain/snow mix, then to wet snow into Tuesday morning. 

 

It's possible that scattered wet snow showers may stick around into Tuesday afternoon. Behind Tuesday's system, we see our next blast of cold air take place, one that will make for a very cold start to the new year. Afternoon highs Wednesday through Sunday will end up in the 20s, with overnight lows landing in the lower teens.

 BRRRRRRR!
