...Areas of Valley Fog Becoming Locally Dense Again This
Morning...

Clear skies and light winds have once again led to fog developing
mainly in the valleys. Some of this fog will be dense and reduce
visibilities to a quarter of a mile or less - generally along the
rivers, larger creeks, and area lakes. Look for the fog to start
to clear by 9 am.

Those traveling this morning should exercise caution by slowing
down and being prepared for sudden changes in visibility. Allow
plenty of room between your vehicle and the one in front of you.
Use low beam headlights and allow extra time to reach your
destination.
