A backdoor cold front has pushed in from the northeast and easterly flow off the Atlantic has brought in cool and moist air. Expect areas of fog, mist and drizzle this morning, continuing through the afternoon. Isolated heavier showers are possible this afternoon as well. Highs will only top out in the low 60s.

Areas of fog will develop tonight as the easterly flow continues.
