...DENSE FOG DEVELOPING AROUND THE CAPITAL AREA...

YESTERDAYS AND LAST NIGHTS HEAVY RAINS LEFT A RIPE ENVIRONMENT FOR
FOG THIS MORNING.  MANY SPOTS COULD TEMPORAIRILY EXPERIENCE VISIBILITIES
BELOW 1 MILE EARLY THIS MORNING.

THE MAIN THREAT OR CONCERN IN TODAYS WEATHER IS NOT NECESSARILY THE
FOG.  WE HAD VERY HEAVY..FLASH FLOODING RAINS YESTERDAY OVER MANY PARTS
OF TRAVIS AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES.  THAT TOO LEAVES A DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENT FOR ADDITIONAL FLASH FLOODING..ESPECIALLY IF THE LIKELIHOOD
FOR MORE HEAVY THUNDERSTORMS REMAINS FAIRLY HIGH..AND IT DOES TODAY.

MANY PEOPLE WILL BE TRYING TO ENJOY OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES..AND THAT PUTS
A GREAT MANY OF US IN DANGER OF BEING IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG
TIME.  LAKES..RIVERS..CREEKS AND STREAMS COLLECT THE RUNOFF FROM
HEAVY RAINS.  BEING ON..NEAR..OR DRIVING BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THEM
MIGHT BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH.  WATCH THE WEATHER CLOSELY TODAY.
