Visibilities have been lowering this evening to values ranging

travel conditions more difficult and motorists should allow
additional time to reach destinations. If visibilities continue to
deteriorate a dense fog advisory may be required.
Another round of rain will be moving across the area overnight
and this additional rainfall falling on saturated ground will go
directly into runoff. Ponding of water on roadways and nuisance
flooding of low lying areas will be possible.
