Just wish we could have a December like 1998! If it's not going to be cold and snowy, it might as well be warm and sunny! Heading into the low 60's on Tuesday at least.

[TWCCraig]

Areas of fog will persist through the first half of this evening
ahead of an approaching cold front. Visibilities will be around one
mile in many locations... with a few locations under one-half mile
at times.

If you plan to travel this evening... be on the alert for locally
dense fog and rapidly changing visibilities.

Conditions will improve late tonight when a gusty northwest flow
develops behind a cold frontal passage.
