Pockets of fog, which, will be dense at times will be present

through the morning commute across the area. This may lead to 

difficult driving conditions as visibilities will be reduced down 

to 1/4 mile or less in localized areas. Drivers are recommended to

leave early to account for slow commute times this morning and 

only use low beam headlights.
