Shame on me for posting in the the updates thread, but do we have a fog forecast? I would need to leave at ~4am to make it through LA before rushhour.. Not worth it for fog.
Starlink 2-6 forecast: low cloud and fog until 8am then clearing, fog may linger until after 9am, might be drizzly....sorry folks....next report about 6am
