1.72 for the year. not insurmountable. a couple spots where we've got pretty low visibility. wadesboro zero, two miles in gastonia, shelby has improved big time. no fog in lincolnton, in good shape, clear skies, early on this morning and we've got temperatures mostly in the 50s. here in charlotte, 54 degrees, a little milder up around hickory, 60. 52 boone, 54 gastonia, 56 in salisbury, 58 in rock hill. couple other communities, 55 lincolnton, concord, 55 as is wadesboro, 54 statesville, 52 west jefferson and we're 52 out in shelby. this morning, patchy fog, that is it, 57 degrees, not bad at the bus stop, won't be as widespread or heavy and thick as what we had yesterday morning. unseasonably warm this afternoon, lots of sunshine,
