Foggy week in Victoria

Bob Neil, Tuesday August 26, 2014 - 11:59 AEST

After collecting showers due to an upper level cold pool and trough,
which is now generating heavy showers over NSW, Victoria had
widespread fog this morning.

In the wake of the showery days, a strong ridge of high pressure has
taken over quickly, bringing clear skies and light winds to the
nation's southeast. The combination of remnant moisture and a calm
night made for the perfect conditions for fog formation.

This morning Wonthaggi saw thick fog with visibility below 50 metres
and still 500 metres at 9am. Avalon airport also saw fog lingering
through this morning with visibility restricted to 100 metres at 5am.

This high pressure ridge will remain in place over the state through
much of this week, leading to a few more foggy mornings ahead.
Tomorrow morning especially is forecast to be colder than this morning
for many location around Victoria and since winds will be remaining
light with elevated moisture levels, fog is expected to be more
widespread than today.

Daytime temperature will be warming throughout the week under the
sunny skies. Statewide temperature will range from around three to six
degrees above average each day before the next front arrives early
next week.
