...Areas of Dense Valley Fog Around This Morning...


Mostly clear skies, light winds, and lingering low-level moisture
are helping areas of valley fog to develop and become dense early
this morning. This fog will continue to expand through the pre-
dawn hours but likely remain the densest in the valleys.
Visibilities will be below a quarter of a mile at times in the
thickest of the fog. Be sure to slow down and use your low beam
headlights when you encounter any fog.
