If you're up early Saturday, watch for fog. A weak system breaks up the low stratus and fog Friday afternoon and evening, but freezing fog and low stratus are likely to redevelop by morning.
Three weak systems move through before high pressure returns
- Nov. 6A weak disturbance temporarily breaks up low stratus and fog.
- Nov. 7Freezing fog and low stratus are likely to redevelop by morning.
- Nov. 8Another disturbance brings a slight chance of valley rain.
- Nov. 10A third weak system may keep inversions from strengthening too quickly.
