Bicyclist dead after fatal vehicle crash
Dense fog blanketed much of Michiana early Thursday morning. It took until the early afternoon to get the fog to lift, only to be replaced by clouds in the early evening.
This could be a taste of things to come in March, even without any snow cover.
The dreaded "perma-cloud" can be particularly stubborn as we first transition from winter to spring. When mild air travels over colder ground, that temperature difference can lead to the formation of low clouds or fog.
The more damp the ground is (or bigger the temperature difference is), the more stubborn the fog & clouds will be.
Temperatures will be turbulent this weekend and into early next week, with the potential for heavy rain in the forecast for the middle of next week.
If we do see a lot of sunshine, chances are temperatures might be colder than you prefer. We'll have to wait until the middle or end of the month to see changes in the "perma-cloud" cycle.
