A high pressure system spread over Minnesota late Saturday night, which lightened our winds and allowed areas of dense fog to develop. The fog will linger into Sunday morning, then burn off.

A dense fog advisory (shaded gray) covers much of Minnesota and parts of northwestern Wisconsin until 10 a.m.:
