Given the dry airmass and lack of recent rain, fog development is not expected and if any develops it should be very shallow. Temperatures will follow very closely to typical climate values for late April with highs this afternoon in the upper 70s and low 80s and temps tonight falling to the upper 50s inland and low/mid 60s at the coast.
