| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Showers occurred the previous day across portions of the lower southern deserts, adding moisture to the lower levels of the atmosphere. On the morning of December 8th, humidity was high, winds were light and conditions were favorable for the formation of fog across the south-central deserts. Starting around 0700MST, trained weather spotters as well as automatic AWOS weather stations reported the presence of dense fog in communities such as Casa Grande and Santan. Visibility fell as low as 1/16 of a mile at the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway airport. A Dense Fog Advisory was in effect at the time of the dense fog reports.
