Dense fog advisory in effect through Thursday morning commute in parts of North Texas

A dense fog advisory is in effect for parts of North Texas until 10 a.m., including Tarrant and Dallas counties. Northern counties, including Denton and Collin, aren't part of the advisory.

This means visibility on the roads is very low, even near zero in some spots. Burleson, Duncanville and Grand Prairie are among the areas with the lowest visibility in the Metroplex.

The fog is due to the rain that fell on Wednesday, which totaled as much as 5 inches in parts of the region.

The fog will slowly dissipate through the morning, giving way to a gorgeous afternoon with plenty of sunshine and highs in the mid 80s.

Another storm threat rolls in overnight Thursday and into Friday. The bulk of the storm coverage Friday looks to be during the morning and early afternoon hours, with greater chances to the south of I-20.

Not everybody will see rain on Friday, but there will be the threat for some stronger storms, with damaging winds and flooding being of highest concern, especially following all of the rain that was picked up on Wednesday. For that reason, CBS News Texas meteorologists have issued a First Alert Weather Day for Friday.

That's a stronger cold front that will work through the area, leading to much nicer conditions into the weekend.

Expect highs in the mid to upper 70s for Saturday and Sunday, with mostly sunny skies, and only isolated shower chances.

North Texans will kick off the next workweek on a dry note, followed by a renewed threat for showers and storms in the middle of next week.
