However, travelers should remain vigilant, particularly during early morning and late evening hours when the risk of fog formation is highest.
The temperatures are expected to fluctuate slightly, maintaining a cool but comfortable range for this time of the year. No significant precipitation is anticipated, although the saturated air may lead to misty mornings. Winds are forecasted to remain light, offering little relief from the lingering moisture in the air.
Wardrobe Recommendations
Given the current and expected conditions, it’s advisable to dress in layers to adapt to the cool temperatures and potential moisture in the air. A waterproof or water-resistant jacket would be prudent for the morning hours.
Footwear with good traction is recommended due to the increased risk of slick surfaces, especially on untreated roads and sidewalks.
Weather Trivia
Did you know? Fog forms when the air near the ground cools down to the point where it can no longer hold all the moisture, which condenses into tiny water droplets suspended in the air. The phenomenon is particularly common in areas like Vermilion Bay and Dryden during transitions between seasons when temperature variations are significant.
