...DISCUSSION...103 AM EST Wed Mar 4 2026

Areas of fog and low stratus this morning. While the precipitation associated with Tuesday`s system has exited off to our east...the lowest levels of the atmosphere remain nearly saturated to saturated...with widespread low stratus and fog in place across the majority of the area. Expect this to not really change all that much until after sunrise this morning...when the now- strong early March sun will a chance to mix down drier air from aloft into the boundary layer...eventually leading to the fog/low stratus dissipating by late morning/midday.
