After a very wet Sunday, today will be dryer but with very strong winds.  A wind advisory is in effect until 4 PM and we could see gusts as high as 45 mph.  Yesterday’s story of the day was the fog.  Visibility was under half a mile a good part of the day with intermittent showers.  In all, we received over an inch and a half of rain, and some areas received over 2 inches.  I’m seeing some breaks in the clouds and it would be nice if we saw a little sun today.
