ALT Areas of Fog Early Thursday Morning
Saturday morning looks to be a bit "chilly". Plan on dressing in layers if you're going to be outdoors, and if there're any outdoor plants you want to salvage a bit longer you might want to take precautions.
These cooler temperatures are a reminder it's time to update, or create, the emergency supply kit for your vehicle(s)!
