Thick fog early, chance for strong evening storms

Flash flooding, damaging wind main threats

ROANOKE, Va – Fog is coming in very thick this Tuesday morning. In the long run, fog and clouds could help to lessen the severe weather threat this evening. The more sun we see in the afternoon, the better chance we will have for strong evening storms.

Fog will try to burn off by 11 a.m.
