...Locally dense fog possible this morning...

Pockets of dense fog have developed across parts of eastern
Kentucky early this morning, with visibility reduced to below
one-quarter mile in some locations. These conditions may persist
until near or shortly after sunrise before the fog begins to lift
or burn off.

You should expect to encounter sharp reductions in visibility if
traveling through the remainder of the overnight. Use low-beam
headlights, allow yourself extra time to reach your destination,
and increase your separation distance from other vehicles.
