Dense Fog Advisory until 10:00AM
Clear skies during the overnight period has been quite conducive for strong radiational cooling. This has allowed for temperatures to quickly fall close to the dewpoint. A weak pressure field over the region has resulted in near calm surface winds this morning. This combination has set the stage for areas of dense fog to develop this morning. Conditions should begin to rapidly improve between 9 and 10am. The National Weather Service in New Orleans has issued a Dense Fog Advisory, which is in effect until 10 AM CDT this morning.
* VISIBILITY...1/4 mile or less
