Mostly clear to clear skies and light winds has 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 along rivers, larger creeks, and area lakes. 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.
