If I know the dew point and check the outside air temperature, I can determine presence or absence of fog. But usually all that I get from the forecasts is relative humidity. I am not sure how to move back and forth between dew point and relative humidity.

These topics are discussed in section 3.5 of the text, along with tables of converting between RH and DP, using the wet bulb temperature to make the transition between them.
Alternatively, you can also calculate DP from RH, using pressure and temperature, from this link:
