.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
Issued at 806 PM CDT Wed Apr 17 2024

Have updated the near term forecast to expand fog potential and
include a limited dense fog threat in the hazard graphics for 
early Thursday morning over the lower Pine Belt region. Very humid
boundary layer conditions and diminishing southerly wind should 
allow for fog development over southern/eastern portions of the 
area, and some near term guidance suggest the potential for dense 
fog. Will be monitoring overnight for potential adjustments to the
fog messaging. Otherwise, expect lingering light showers to 
continue to diminish and no significant adjustments have been made
to most near term forecast elements. /EC/
