.DISCUSSION...

Most uncertain about marine layer development and behavior. Low clouds with patchy

dense fog will likely develop tonight. The arrival will likely be late around or after

3am. Marine layer stratus should persist over the area through the morning. The stratus

could retreat during the afternoon into early evening (40%), then moderate to high

confidence it returns Saturday night. A shortwave trough should lift the marine layer

especially Saturday night reducing the chances for dense fog. If the marine layer forecast

doesn't pan out, temperatures could be off by few to several degrees especially Saturday 

afternoon.
