How do forecasters predict fog?

BBC forecasters, like those at the Met Office, use sophisticated computer models that process vast amounts of atmospheric data from satellites, radar, and weather stations. These models simulate how temperature, humidity, and pressure will evolve, allowing them to predict conditions ripe for fog formation, such as the high pressure system mentioned.
