...Patchy Dense Fog Through Early Wednesday Morning...

Rain falling on cold ground caused patchy dense fog to develop
during the night. Drivers should be alert for the possibility of
rapid changes in visibility. If driving in fog, use low beam
headlights, slow down, and leave plenty of distance between
vehicles. Any remaining fog should dissipate on Wednesday morning.
