The combination of clear and calm conditions this morning has led to the development of fog across portions of the region. Dense fog is expected in some areas with visibility below a half of a mile. Motorists should use caution if out driving and be prepared for sudden changes in visibility. Allow for greater distances between vehicles and do not assume the road ahead is unobstructed. Use low beam headlights, and allow more time to reach your destination safely.
