widespread but could be locally dense with visibility dropping
below a quarter of a mile. Freezing fog is also a concern tonight
as temperatures continue to drop which could lead to a light
glazing of ice on surfaces along with reduced visibility. Elevated
surfaces are of particular concern into tonight for a light glazing
of ice. Use caution when traveling and be prepared for changes in
visibility.
