"Most areas will clear out by noon hours, but there is a possibility of persistent fog at the beaches today, particularly in the Golden Isles of south Georgia," said Channel 4 Meteorologist Rebecca Barry. Areas to the east of the Intracoastal Waterway may be slower to clear, and cooler throughout the day. Brief, light drizzle is also possible as the fog dissipates this morning."
