...Areas of Fog Have Become Locally Dense in the Valleys...

Fog has developed overnight, mainly in the valleys, and has become
dense in some areas with visibilities reduced to a quarter of a
mile or less. Expect visibilities to vary significantly over
short distances this morning, with the fog gradually lifting and
dissipating during the 9 to 10 AM EDT timeframe.

If traveling this morning, slow down, use low beam headlights when
