DESCRIPTION: Patchy fog has developed across much of the region, especially in valleys and other low lying areas. While visibilities may be variable, some fog is locally dense with visibility less than one quarter mile. Temperatures in many of these locations have fallen into the upper 20s and lower 30s, which could result in freezing fog. Any residual moisture from Thursday's rain could also result in icy spots. Expect the fog to gradually erode by mid morning. If driving early this morning, be prepared for rapidly changing conditions. Slow down, increase following distance, and use low beam headlights when encountering dense fog. Any road surfaces which appear wet may actually be icy.

Next Topic: Evaporation
Drizzle is precipitation in the form of water droplets which are
smaller than raindrops.
Drizzle is characterized by fine, gently falling droplets and typically does not
impact human habitation in a negative way. The exception to this is freezing drizzle,
a condition where drizzle freezes immediately upon reaching earth's surface.
Freezing drizzle is still less dangerous than freezing rain, but can
potentially result in hazardous road conditions.

Next Topic: Fractus Clouds
Fog is technically a type of stratus cloud, which lies along the
ground and obscures visibility.
It is usually created when humidity in the air condenses into tiny water droplets.
Because of this, some places are more prone to foggy weather, such as regions
close to a body of water.
Fog is similar to mist; both are the appearance of water droplets suspended in
the air, but fog is the term applied to the condition when visibility is less than 1 km.
