Fog rolls back in
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. โ Dense Fog Advisories across the area were lifted as the visibilities cleared up this morning, but a layer of mid morning fog has rolled back in over downtown. Meteorologist Mark Collins explains different ways to detect fog: โItโs best to look at GOES 16 satellite data to see where the fog is located. AdSo I often look here -- this shows thick sea fog in white off the Georgia and South Carolina coast. Fog dissipates when temperatures warm up. The two most important safety measures when you driving in fog are to slow down and turn on your low-beam headlights.

Defense: Officer and Andre Hill interacted before shooting
The former Columbus Police officer was charged with murder Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2021, in the latest fallout following the December shooting death of 47-year-old Andre Hill, a Black man, the state's attorney general said. The alleged details had not been disclosed in the information Columbus police and the Ohio Attorney General's office have put out since the Dec. 22 shooting. There were two more interactions between the two men before Coy can be seen on bodycam footage shooting Hill. Coy was indicted by a grand jury Wednesday following a monthlong investigation by the Ohio Attorney General's Office into the fatal shooting. Franklin County Court Magistrate Elizabeta Saken set the bond after Collins unsuccessfully argued for a bond between $25,000 and $250,000.

Pay It 4ward: Ace Hardware delivers yard makeovers to deserving families
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. โ Ace Hardware locations across the First Coast have teamed up to donate a yard makeover to five deserving locations. News4Jax meteorologists Rebecca Barry and Jonathan Stacey were at two different Angelwood group homes along with teams from local Ace hardware stores to help with the yard makeovers.
