Heavy wet fog in Northern California on the coast

Today is likely the heaviest wettest fog of the last month that has made our back deck completely wet like it rained this morning. One interesting thing is that I have been able to leave an upper living room window open for all this week as long as I left the heater turned down to only come on at 65 with the heater never turning on once during the past week. Today I heard a sound and wondered what it was and then looked at the thermostat and my wife had turned it up to 67 but had left the back door open so they dog could go into the yard. So, I reduced the thermostat down to 65 once again and realized since the high today was only going to be 66 because of the heavy fog on the northern California coast that closing the window and leaving the thermostat at 65 might be the best outcome. But, we might have just started getting more fall weather too. In other words we might be starting to get colder nights even though later this week we expect to get another 81 degree day. 

Having this wet fog along the coast will likely prevent fires right on the coast completely which is a very good thing (at least where I live) lately too. Because inland it's a completely different story and very dry right now.

The Bobcat fire is where mountains and desert meet on the back of Angeles National Forest near Pearblossom
